Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cans white beans or garbanzo beans (500 g total, once drained)
- 1 cup quick oats or almond flour
- 1/4 cup applesauce or yogurt
- 3 tbsp oil or 1/4 cup nut butter
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cup brown sugar or unrefined sugar
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the beans: Drain and rinse the canned white beans or garbanzo beans thoroughly to remove excess liquid and improve texture.
- Blend ingredients: In a food processor, blend the drained beans, quick oats or almond flour, applesauce or yogurt, oil or nut butter, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.
- Add chocolate chips: Stir in the chocolate chips gently to distribute evenly throughout the batter without blending them further.
- Prepare the pan: Grease a 9 or 10-inch springform pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the cookie pie after baking.
- Bake the cookie pie: Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cookie pie to stand for at least 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Serve warm or let it cool completely before slicing and enjoying.
Notes
- Using a food processor yields a better texture than a blender for this recipe.
- You can substitute quick oats with almond flour for a gluten-free version.
- Applesauce or yogurt can be used to add moisture; use a dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option.
- Use nut butter or oil depending on your preference for flavor and texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- To make a sugar-free version, substitute the brown sugar with a suitable sugar-free alternative.
