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’ve been wanting to try the original, but hesitated because of the sugar content, so this new version is right up my alley! Thanks!
Yaaaayyy you posted a sugar-free version! I am so grateful! I loved the look of this but I just couldn’t do it with the sugar before. Thanks Katie!
who knew that chocolate chip pie could be SUGAR FREE and not taste like cardboard? Leave it to you Miss CCK! I love chocolate chip cookie pie but obviously feel so guilty eating it. I’ll have to give this a try for my boyfriends birthday… and not tell him the ingredients, of course 😉
Looks delish! Happy bday to your cake 😀
I’ve honestly been stalking the original Deep-Dish Cookie Pie posting for a year, awaiting your promise of a sugar-free version so I am THRILLED BEYOND ANY AMOUNT OF REASON to see this here!
Unlike you, I have a MAJOR sweet tooth so I try my hardest to use natural sweeteners instead of sugar to satisfy myself.
I now know how I’m spending my afternoon! You’ve made my day already, Katie! Thank you so much! ^_^
Update; just ate my first slice and WOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!! Katie, you have not disappointed! This is so amazing and I can’t wait to make all my non-vegan friends eat it! =DD
Aw yay!! I think you’re the first person to try it! 🙂
I won the race! I feel special! =D hehe
Have you ever made this and frozen it? Would that work?
We haven’t, but many readers say it works!

RE “my dad, who celebrates the birthday of his car”
The anniversay of the day he bought it?
Yes 🙂
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this recipe! I was planning on making the regular one for my daddy for fathers day, but I might just make this one instead. 🙂 Btw, I am also making him your banana pancake recipe and your vegan coconut cool whip to go on top.(: I also showed my sister and her friend your red velvet pancake recipe (they are die-hard red velvet cake lovers) and they are planning on making that today for lunch (breakfast for lunch!). Thanks again! 🙂
Omigosh this looks incredible!! What a delicious thing to celebrate!! And I love that this version is GF and SF- thank you so much! Now it can seriously be enjoyed guilt-free! I haven’t tried any of your bean recipes yet but I think it is time!
Well, my birthday is coming up and I’ve been racking my brain trying to think of something yummy and healthy to make. I think I’ve found it. I might even have to do a test just to be sure it will be good. 😉 Thank you! I apologize if you have already answered this question somewhere, but I’m curious – is the nutritional info for the entire recipe or just a portion of it?
Oh yes, I’ve made your original Deep Dish Cookie Pie a few times. I have also made Legendary Black Bean Brownies a couple of times and a Vegan Triple Fudge Brownie and Vegan Streusel Muffins. Do you want me to put the links up to them here?
Links are always welcome on my blog! 🙂
