Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2 cans white beans or chickpeas (about 500g drained & rinsed)
- 1 cup quick oats (or almond flour for a gluten-free option)
- ¼ cup applesauce (or plain/Greek yogurt)
- 3 tbsp oil (or ¼ cup nut butter like almond, cashew, or peanut)
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups brown sugar (or coconut sugar/unrefined sugar)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (plus extra for sprinkling)
👉 Optional add-ins: shredded coconut, walnuts, pecans, or a swirl of Nutella.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the beans & oats
Drain and rinse beans very well. If using rolled oats, pulse them in a food processor until finely ground.
2. Blend the batter
Add beans, oats (or almond flour), applesauce, oil/nut butter, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar to the food processor. Blend until smooth and cookie-dough-like.
3. Stir in chocolate chips
Turn off the machine and fold in chocolate chips by hand.
4. Bake the cookie pie
Spread batter evenly into a greased 9–10 inch springform pan. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes.
5. Cool & serve
Let rest for at least 10 minutes before removing from pan. Serve warm with ice cream or let cool completely before slicing.
Storage Tips
- Store covered at room temperature overnight for serving the next day.
- For longer storage, refrigerate in an airtight container.
- Freeze slices for a quick dessert anytime — just reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
Recipe Notes & Variations
- Swap chickpeas for white beans (cannellini or great northern).
- Replace applesauce with pumpkin puree, mashed banana, or yogurt.
- Use coconut sugar or maple syrup for refined sugar-free options.
- For a peanut butter twist, use peanut butter instead of neutral nut butter.
