This Deep Dish Cookie Pie is a rich, moist, and delicious dessert that combines the wholesome goodness of beans with the indulgence of a classic cookie. Made with white beans or garbanzo beans as a base, combined with oats or almond flour and sweetened naturally with brown sugar or unrefined sugar, this cookie pie offers a healthier twist without sacrificing flavor. The chocolate chips add that perfect burst of sweetness, and baking it in a springform pan creates a deep, thick cookie that’s perfect for sharing or enjoying all to yourself.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cans white beans or garbanzo beans (500g total, drained and rinsed)
  • 1 cup quick oats or almond flour
  • 1/4 cup applesauce or yogurt
  • 3 tbsp oil or 1/4 cup nut butter

Flavorings and Leavening

  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Sweeteners and Add-ins

  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar or unrefined sugar
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beans: Drain and rinse the white beans or garbanzo beans thoroughly to remove excess liquid and any canning residue.
  2. Blend the Batter: In a food processor, blend the drained beans with 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. Using a food processor ensures a better texture compared to a blender.
  3. Add the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the blended batter using a spatula to evenly distribute them without breaking the chips.
  4. Prepare the Pan: Grease a 9 or 10-inch springform pan to prevent sticking. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top as needed.
  5. Bake the Cookie Pie: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cookie pie for 35 minutes until it’s set and the edges are golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to stand at least 10 minutes before removing it from the springform pan. Serve warm for a gooey texture or let it cool completely. Store leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

  • The texture of the cookie pie is best when using a food processor instead of a blender.
  • For a sugar-free version, use alternative sweeteners as desired.
  • This recipe works well with either white beans or garbanzo beans; ensure they are well rinsed for the best flavor.
  • A springform pan is recommended for easy removal and presentation.
  • Adjust baking time slightly if using a different size or type of pan.
