Deep-Dish Cookie Pie

Original Recipe: http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/05/31/deep-dish-cookie-pie/


Ingredients:

•     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
•     1 cup chocolate chips

Directions:

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.)
