Scale
Base 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 and Blend: Drain and rinse the beans very well to remove excess liquid. Place them in a food processor along with oats (or almond flour), applesauce (or yogurt), oil (or nut butter), vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar. Blend everything very well until a smooth batter forms.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Mix in the chocolate chips gently with a spatula to distribute evenly throughout the batter without breaking them up.
- Prepare Pan and Bake: Grease a 9 or 10-inch springform pan to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly gooey but cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pie stand in the pan for at least 10 minutes before removing the springform ring. Serve warm for a gooier texture or let it cool completely for a firmer slice. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
Notes
- The texture is best when using a food processor rather than a blender, although blending can work in a pinch.
- You can substitute brown sugar with unrefined sugar or try a sugar-free sweetener if desired.
- Using applesauce or yogurt adds moisture and tenderness; choose based on dietary preferences.
- For nut allergies, use oil instead of nut butter.
- Storing the pie refrigerated in an airtight container will keep it fresh for several days.
