Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans white beans or garbanzo beans (500g, drained)
- 1 cup quick oats or almond flour
- 1 ½ cups brown sugar or unrefined sugar
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tsps baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup applesauce or yogurt
- 3 tbsps (45 ml) oil or ¼ cup (60 ml) nut butter
- 2 tsps pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Preparation: Position the oven rack in the center and warm to 350°F (175°C) for optimal baking conditions.
- Mixture Creation: Combine beans, oats/almond flour, applesauce/yogurt, oil/nut butter, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a food processor, blending until achieving a completely smooth, homogeneous texture.
- Chocolate Integration: Manually fold chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring even distribution for consistent flavor throughout the dessert.
- Pan Preparation: Thoroughly grease a 9 or 10-inch springform pan, coating both bottom and sides to prevent potential sticking.
- Batter Placement: Carefully spread the batter evenly within the prepared pan, creating a uniform surface for consistent baking.
- Baking Process: Position the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35 minutes, monitoring until the top turns a rich golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center emerges clean.
- Cooling and Serving: Allow the pie to rest for 10 minutes after removing from the oven, then gently release the springform pan’s sides. Transfer to a cooling rack and serve either warm for a decadent, gooey experience or completely cooled for cleaner slicing and firmer consistency.
Notes
- Drain Beans Thoroughly: Remove all excess liquid to prevent a watery batter and ensure the perfect cookie pie consistency.
- Blend Until Smooth: Process ingredients completely to create a uniform texture, eliminating any bean chunks for a seamless dessert experience.
- Chocolate Chip Distribution: Fold chips gently by hand to prevent breaking and ensure even chocolate throughout the pie.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let the pie rest for 10 minutes after baking to set the structure, making it easier to slice and serve cleanly.
