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)
InstructionsÂ
- 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

Is there anyway Sunmaid prunes would work as a substitution for dates? They’re all I’ve got on hand most of the time!
Yep! Just used them myself, and it was terrific!
Thank you! If only I hadn’t just finished my tub off at lunch! LOL
I think I’m in love. My vegan roommate has been introducing me to recipes over the last few years, but this is by the far the most outstanding! Chickpeas in a pie…what?
So yummy I want to eat it forever!
Hi Katie! I am new to your site and am wondering if you could answer a question I have? When you say you could bake the recipe in two 8-inch pans, do you mean pie pans? Sorry for the dumb question!
I just substituted dried prunes for the dates, used coconut milk and instead of sugar, I used honey. My kids can’t even get past the ‘dough’ without trying to devour it!!!! Serving this around to different friends and acquaintances and they are amazed (some completely speechless) at how delicious good, healthy food can be!!!
Made this today, with a couple of tweaks……wow! So tasty! Instead of using 300g dates, I subbed for 300g bananas, and added 75g dates for the sweetness. I left out the oil and applesauce, but it still worked out really well. Makes 8 good sized portions – I’ve frozen some of them, so hope they keep well in the freezer. Will definitely make again x
So thankful for recipes like this! I was skeptical. I am a self proclaimed singer addict. Quit using sugar in September. When I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it. Wow!! It tasted great. I can’t wait to try more of your recipes!

Hi, this looks so good. I have already made numerous desserts from your website and loved them! Everything you come up with looks amazing. Anyways, just wondering if I can substitute raisins for dates, I went to buy some yesterday and the grocery store did not have any?
OOOOH!! Made this for mother’s day! I had to HIDE some from my 9yr old son because I promised my co-worker a taste….which ended up being 2 small (tiny) squares! Needless to say noone believed me when I said it had no flour and no added sugar!
Yayayay! I’m a baby cook and haven’t acquired better (read: more expensive) equipment yet, and I didn’t think my Black and Decker processor would hold up to the dates, so I tried it with banana. It worked beautifully! The middle has sort of a soft, pie-ish texture and the edge is hard like a crust! Plus, my springform pan was occupied (long story) so I had leftover batter and scooped some on top of my brownie batter frozen yogurt…mmmmm…
