This soft and gooey chocolate chip cookie pie is sweetened naturally – with no refined sugar required, not even maple syrup!
Happy Birthday!
To celebrate a birthday, one often eats pie.
But what do you eat when the birthday is for the pie, itself?
While it may seem odd to commemorate such an occasion at all, my deep dish cookie pie—which came into existence exactly one year ago—is no ordinary pie.
After all, the recipe was featured on the ABC 5 O’Clock News.
No, I didn’t really celebrate the birthday of a pie.
I’m not totally strange (unlike my dad, who celebrates the birthday of his car…).
But many people have requested a sugar-free version of my deep-dish cookie pie; so finally, a whole year later, I’m posting the new recipe, heavily adapted from the original version—yet just as delicious!
Peace, love, and chocolate chips.

No Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie
Ingredients
- 2 cans white beans or chickpeas, drained and rinsed well
- 1 cup quick oats (or sub almond flour)
- 2 cups pitted dates (300g)
- 1/8 tsp uncut stevia (or sub 1/4 cup sugar)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup applesauce or mashed banana
- 2/3 cup milk of choice
- 3 tbsp oil (or sub 1/4 cup nut butter of choice)
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (or sugar free chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F, and grease a 10-in springform pan (or two 8-in round pans). Combine all dry ingredients (except chips) in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine all wet ingredients. Put around 1/3 of the dry and 1/3 of the wet ingredients into a high-powered food processor like a Cuisinart (NOT a blender) and blend until super-smooth (where there are no date pieces to be seen). Scoop out into a bowl, and repeat the process twice more with the rest of the ingredients. (If you have an absolutely giant food processor, you can do it in two batches, as opposed to three.) Stir in the chocolate chips, and pour into the pan or pans. Bake 35-40 minutes (or 30 if you want it really gooey in the middle), then let cool at least 15 minutes before trying to remove it.View Nutrition Facts & Substitutions

I am so excited to try the sugar free version. I make the original pie for my kids and they love it. I just don’t tolerate sugar well. Thank you so much for the post.
What brand of stevia packets do you use?
I usually use pure stevia, but if I’m using packets (or even the pure stuff) I like NuNaturals best.
Looks great. I loved the original version, hope to make this too. Happy Birthday Healthy Deep Dish Cookie Pie. 🙂
Looks yummy! One question though: how many cups is 2 cans of beans? Thanks!
500g once drained
But how many cups is that?
Sara I believe it’s around 1 1/2 of cooked dry beans… I googled it after I read your comment because all I have is the dried beans myself… someone earlier commented and I think they said 2 cups of cooked beans… anyways it’s somewhere around there.. hope that helps 🙂
thanks!
Oh the answer is YES! We have tried it, the whole family LOVED it, and even my best friend who can’t stand the sight of a bean really liked it and couldn’t tell there was a single bean in it! I made her guess until she was almost totally done with her piece before I let her know what the *secret* ingredient was 😀 Since two of my kids prefer white chocolate to dark, I cokked it without the chips and just added them on top of the hot pie as soon as got out of the oven, they melted and it was just divine. I will be making this version for sure, I love dates! It’ll be even yummier, if that’s even possible!
Thank you Katie for your great recipes, all six of us love your recipes around here. Nothing scares my kids, not even spinach in their smoothies :p
Oooh! I’m super excited. I was going to modify your original version with something similar, now you’ve done the work for me!! 🙂
I’m curious about the new ingrediant you will be using. I thought beans were rather odd for a dessert and then I tried your sugar-free cookie dough dip-BEST THING EVER!!!
Hmm…. what could the new thing be? Guessing something fairly neutral in flavor. Is it a vegetable?? Sweet potatos could be turned into a dessert I would think. Isn’t there something called Sweet Potato pie? Or maybe it’s carrots. Those are fairly sweet. I had a carrot salad once that was pretty good and included raisins. I’m intrigued, will just have to wait and see… 🙂
Cauliflower 😉 ;).
Hi Katie!
This is baking in my oven as we speak! Can’t wait to dig in 🙂
UPDATE:
My whole family is in the living room smacking their lips over this delicious giant cookie! It is amazing Katie!! Great job!!
Aww yay!!! 🙂
This was just as good if not better than the original!! Soooooo yummy!! I always make them as cupcakes so I can throw them in my lunch-bag for work easily. And they freeze super awesome that way! Also, I added 2tbsp of choc. PB2 in place of the 4 tbsp of sugar.
beans in your desserts is Precisely why i love them. (well it’s one of the reasons, rest is just good flavor and excellent health) but until i met your blog – i hated garbanzos… now i actually like them in something more than hummus 🙂
can’t beat that.
Plus if my 3 1/2 year old is none the wiser that chocolate dip is actually healthy!?? (when made with dates at any rate)
Plus I think there’s going to be a new person in my life that will definitely benefit from a lot of your recipes (gluten free ones) since she has Celiac disease and what not.
in other words.. “Bring it on!” (that new dessert heheh)
I just made this for the first time, and I must say it is scrumptious!! I’m not a vegan, or raw dieter – just a girl trying to lose some baby weight lol. This pie is AMAZING!
Made it this afternoon and it is delicious! Thank you for another wonderful recipe.
By the way, how do you store your cookie pie? In the refrigerator? In a dish on the counter?
It can be left out overnight, covered VERY loosely. Otherwise, cover completely and store in the fridge.
