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.
Mmm I love your deep dish cookie pies! I’m totally making this 🙂 I think adding caramelized apples to it would be tasty, too!
Beautiful sisters! You look so much alike! My sister and I have completely different coloring, but we have the same smile and sound exactly alike on the phone. 🙂
If this tastes anything like the deep dish cookie pie, I’m in for a treat!
I don’t have any siblings, but I would pity them if they looked like me!
The chocolate chip pie was wonderful – I am sure I would love this one too, as I am a great fan of cinnamon. Chocolate has my heart though 😉

Yes! You do look alike!
I have a younger brother and sister-and we all look alike. Same eyes, same skin-color, same hair-color…we could be triplets if we weren’t so far apart (age-wise)!
100 % yes we look alike! Check her out at sarahlearns.wordpress.com
You two look so alike! I don’t look like my two sisters, but they look identical! Haha great recipe! 🙂
Yum! This looks amazing…
Looks delicious! No surprise there though! You and your sister look super cute together! I don’t know how close I resemble my siblings. You can tell we are related, but I don’t think we look as identical as you and your sister. You are both beautiful!
This looks yummy. I can’t find the Cinnamon Bun Frosting recipe. Am I missing something?
The recipe is linked. (If you look under the recipe title, it says “Cinnamon Bun Frosting.”) Sorry for the confusion!
But when you get there, it’s not called Cinnamon Bun Frosting at the top of the page. It is mentioned in the blog that’s it’s aka Cinnamon Bun Frosting, tho. Hope that helps, altho you probably figured it out on your own by now. 🙂
That looks so yummy…
Yes, my brother and I look very similar. He used to get mistaken for being my sister when he wore his hair in that hippie shaggy way that was stylish a few years ago… he cut his hair soon after. 😀
You are so darn creative and your creations are so darn delicious!
My sister and I don’t really look alike! I wish we did though! I would love to resemble her…shes gorgeous!!
I want to steal you from your sister! But then I will eat all the time 😀 .
I don’t think my brother and I look alike. It would be nice though. I’d be happy to have his blue eyes 🙂 .
I wish my Sis would bake for me…since she won’t I’m making this right now!! I love garbanzo beans in baked goods, it makes them silky!! you and your sis are twinsies for sure! so pretty! 🙂
Intriguing. I’ve only tried beans in a black bean brownie recipe – but it was completely disgusting. So I keep being tempted, but I just don’t know. But then I saw that this is gluten-free….oh decisions, decisions.
oh my god, I HAVE ALL OF THE INGREDIENTS FOR THIS IN MY MEASLY PANTRY. FINALLY! woooo! may just have to make this tonight..
