The Ultimate Guide to Deep Dish Cookie Pie: A Gooey, Decadent Masterpiece

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!”

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9- or 10-inch springform pan.

  2. 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.

  3. Add chocolate chips:
    Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.

  4. Bake:
    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes.

  5. Rest:
    Let the pie stand for at least 10 minutes before removing from the pan.

  6. Serve warm for gooey cookie texture, or cool for a firmer slice.

Notes

  • 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!
