Look into the spiral.
Swirly, twirly frosting.
You are getting very sleepy hungry…
See? Who says hypnosis doesn’t work?
Birthday Girl
A few weeks ago, my little sister flew in from Boston for Thanksgiving. Her birthday also falls close to the holiday, and therefore we held a special birthday dinner for her at my parents’ house.
My sister is a big fan of the Chocolate Chip White Bean Blondies.
So I was eager to try out my newest idea on her, especially since she isn’t a huge chocoholic. (She doesn’t like bananas either. Sometimes I wonder if we’re really related!)
Deep Dish Cinnamon Roll Pie
One of my Gluten Free Recipes
- 1 cup quick oats
- 2 cans garbanzo or white beans, drained and rinsed (500g after draining)
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 2 and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 T canola or coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 and 1/2 cups sugar or sucanat (Feel free to use less if you’re used to healthy desserts. Or sub some of the sugar with stevia if desired.)
- 2 T cinnamon
Blend all ingredients very, very well in a food processor. 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 minutes. Let stand at least 10 minutes before removing from the pan. I haven’t tried subbing the sugar with agave, but I do know that many readers have had successfully used agave in my chocolate-chip cookie pie (a similar recipe). So I *think* it would work here as well.
If desired, frost the pie with Creamy Cinnamon Roll Frosting.
Dear Katie:
I just had to write to thank you for this recipe. My 9-year-old son has been complaining about stomach aches and headaches for a while now and since I am celiac I decided to try a gluten free diet for him too. So far so good but he feels very cheated. I showed him different pictures of recipes for a special dessert that I told him that I would make him and he picked your cinnamon pie. He watched me make it and said yuch when he saw me add in the garbanzo beans but I promised him that it would taste great. To his surprise he LOVED it and told every one in the family that this was HIS cake and maybe he would let them have a taste. So thank you for making a little boy a little happier and less deprived. He will be sure to pick other recipes of yours in the future. I know I LOVE everything that I have made from your site. Thank you! and keep up the great work.
Just curious. What is the difference between cinnamon roll and snicker doodle? Other than that one is a cookie and the iother a bun, of course…

Mmmmm, this is delicious!! I didn’t have applesauce, so I swapped it with an egg and added a tbs of water. I also threw in about 3 tbs of unsweetened cocoa powder and it is awesome!
Healthy pie!
I just made these & they came out so delicious! I say “these” because I cut them up 🙂 my processor broke last week (saddest day of my cooking life), so I used a blender. Needless to say it took much longer, but it still worked. I blended the chickpeas first then put them in a bowl. I blended the oats to make oat flour, then added them to the chickpeas. I blended the rest of the ingredients into the bowl by hand and then combined everything in the blender in quarter cup batches. As called for, I baked this at 350 for 35 minutes but found the result to be too soft so I put it back in at 350 for another 15 minutes. I also used the domino stevia/sugar blend. Thank you so much for this recipe and all of your others Katie. Your site has become my bible. 🙂
Love this recipe. I’ve made it several times. Wondering if I could make the “dough,” and then freeze/thaw it to make the cinnamon rolls later on. Do you know how it would thaw?
would it be possible to use half stevia and half regular sugar?
Alot of people think me and my older sister lok alike. Despite looking into a mirror together, we stiil don’t see any resemblance. I will say though that it’s easy to pick us out as sisters. You and your sister have similar features.
🙂
