Ingredients
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 Beans: Drain and rinse the beans very well to remove excess liquid and ensure a smooth batter consistency.
- Blend Ingredients: In a food processor, blend the beans, oats or almond flour, applesauce or yogurt, oil or nut butter, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently mix in the chocolate chips into the blended batter without overmixing to keep them intact.
- Pour Batter: Grease a 9 or 10-inch springform pan and pour the batter evenly into the pan, smoothing the surface.
- Bake Pie: Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 minutes until the pie is set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pie stand for at least 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Serve warm or allow to cool completely for a firmer texture.
Notes
- The recipe adapts from a Chickpea Cookie Dough Dip for a unique twist on traditional cookie pies.
- A food processor is recommended for best texture, but a blender can be used with potentially less optimal results.
- Use a springform pan for easier removal of the pie.
- Cooling for 10 minutes before serving helps the pie set and improves slicing.
- Substitutions like almond flour for oats and nut butter for oil can personalize dietary needs or preferences.
