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 substituted the dates with two cups of bananas, the 4 tbsp of sugar with 3 tbs of agave and carob chips for the chocolate chips, oh and 1/4 cup coconut flour for the oatmeal (but potato starch also works). It’s very good! Even my picky eaters eat it! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
If I’m like you and don’t have to have it super-sweet, what’s the minimum amount of dates I can get away with and still have it taste good? (My stomach can’t handle too much dried fruit but I want to make the sugar-free version!)
Hi Katie! I’m just getting around to making this now, and I’m so excited to dig in! I was wondering, how long would it keep in the fridge? Is it possible to freeze? Thanks soooo much!
Could I make this with stevia drops and mix in a vitamix blender?
I really want to try this, but my daughter and I can’t have oats. Can you suggest any substitutes for the oats?
Quinoa flakes, or some readers have said they had good luck with almond flour or sorghum flour.
What is equivalent of 500 g beans….if I don’t have a scale?
Wow,these cookie pies look delish! Planning on making one for my dad’s birthday but not sure which version..is there a big difference between this one and the original? And which one do your prefer?
If making for a birthday, I would go with the original. Both are good, but that is better for so-called “normal” eaters, or people used to traditional desserts.
Two recipes won’t print. Deep Dish Cookie Pie & Flourless Brownie Pie. Today is 2/1/2018 Thanks. I have to copy so I can remember, takes to much time to write everything down, and then type it out for my binder. Anxious to hear back.
This ask did you Try This Recipe? How can a person if you can’t get a copy of it?
Hmm I think it’s because they are older recipes so don’t have a print function yet. Just copy by pressing control and c on your keyboard, then paste into a word document.
Katie , I’m into my kitchen to mix this up now. These days with thunderstorms are great for reading your blog and making one of your fabulous recipes. I will be eating this for lunch and dinner, can’t beat that , right ? Have a wonderful day. Matilda
Katie, I just ate some of my pie. It is awesome and will become one of my stand by favorites. I do not have a camera or I would send a picture ( it looks just like your picture on the blog, just no ice cream on top of it )YET! . That will be made later. Thank you again for the wonderful recipes . Matilda
