Deep-Dish Cookie Pie

By newbaucher

Side note: If you make 1/4 of the recipe, you can put it in a mini springform pan for a baby pie, like the one above. And if you make a half recipe in a shallow pan, you can have… a healthy cookie cake!! (You know, like the ones at the Great American Cookie Co in the mall?)

Ingredients

• One of my Special Diet Recipes.
• ■2 cans white beans or garbanzos (drained and rinsed) (500g total, once drained)
• ■1 cup quick oats (or certified-gf quick oats)
• ■1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• ■3 tbsp oil (canola, veg, or coconut)
• ■2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• ■1/2 tsp baking soda
• ■2 tsp baking powder
• ■1/2 tsp salt
• ■1 and 1/2 cups brown sugar (EDIT: click for a Sugar-Free Version.)
• ■1 cup chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

Blend everything (except the chips) very well in a good food processor (not a blender). Mix in chips, and pour into an oiled pan (I used a 10-inch springform pan, but you can use a smaller pan if you want a really deep-dish pie.) Cook at 350F for around 35-40 minutes. Let stand at least 10 minutes before removing from the pan. (Some commenters have had success with a blender, but I did not. Try that at your own risk, and know the results will be better in a high-quality food processor such as a Cuisinart.)
