This Deep Dish Cookie Pie is a gooey, chocolate-packed dessert that surprises everyone — in the best way! Made with blended white beans for a soft, brownie-like texture, it tastes indulgent while being secretly nutritious. It’s perfect for parties, birthdays, or anytime you want a warm, melty cookie treat that serves a crowd. No one ever guesses the “secret ingredient!”
2 cans white beans or garbanzo beans, drained (500g total once drained)
1 cup quick oats or almond flour
¼ cup applesauce or yogurt
3 tbsp oil or ¼ cup nut butter
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1½ cups brown sugar or unrefined sugar
1 cup chocolate chips
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9- or 10-inch springform pan.
Blend the base:
Drain and rinse beans very well. Add them to a food processor with oats (or almond flour), applesauce (or yogurt), oil (or nut butter), vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
Blend until completely smooth.
Add chocolate chips:
Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes.
Rest:
Let the pie stand for at least 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
Serve warm for gooey cookie texture, or cool for a firmer slice.
Rinse beans really well to avoid any leftover flavor.
A food processor gives the smoothest, best texture — better than a blender.
For extra gooey centers, underbake by 2–3 minutes.
Try mixing in white chocolate chips, walnuts, or M&Ms for fun variations.
Tastes amazing with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
