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.
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.
🙂
wow your blog is awesome . i m bookmarking lots of recipes which i d like to try, already tried a couple and really liked the, keep up the good work cause i really enjoy reading your blog 🙂 you and your sister really look alike. me too we re twins 🙂
I love all your recipes, but when I went to make this one it came out off, I dunno if the flavor I’m looking for is hummus or something else, but a bite from it tastes like something from the discount ethnic foods store. The beans are overpowering everything else, I think.
The only difference that comes to mind is that I used dry garbanzos instead of canned ones with some water added in to compensate, guessing that’s a no no? Is there anything I can do to salvage the dish? Nothing really rocks my precious fantasy world harder than wasting ingredients 🙁
You can have a look at CCK’s recipe FAQ page, but you should probably stick to the way the recipes are written for best results in general.
This might sound like an odd question, but do you think this could be baked in a muffin tin? I like the idea of individual mini “pies”, and can’t think of a huge reason why it might not work. Thoughts?
Is there nutrition info available for this recipe?
I made the deep dish cookie pie last night and it was pretty dang amazing (and the cinnamon roll pancakes for brinner the night before, and the tiramisu pancakes for breakfast one day last week…). This recipe sounds pretty incredible as it is, but I’m thinking add in some more oats after running it through the food processor (so they are whole) and adding raisins…and viola! Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Pie
Interesting recipe. I’m not sure I’ve got the texture completely as it should be, but it tastes really good. Yum. I used azuki beans, though, since I’m more used to them in sweets and I didn’t really want to try using garbanzo beans for anything other than savory treats. The house smells delicious now. Why is cinnamon so good? 🙂
Your sister looks just like Katy Perry to me! haha 🙂 you’re both gorgeous!
Can these be rolled into balls to make cinnamon-buns? If so at what temperature, for how long should I bake them?

I’ve made this pie and the deep dish cookie dough pie and both are absolutely delicious! Thank you Katie for taking the sin out of desserts xxx
Hi
Was wondering if I did not want to use sugar or sweentner would the recipe ok if I just left that out?
Hi lovely, I absolutely adore all of your recipes and your philosophy! I know you said above that you have not tried agave in this, a liquid sweetener. I would either use honey or maple syrup, would you have the same expectation for the agave? I’ve made things that call for dry sugar but liquid works fine. I would love to hear your input. Thanks for all you do Katie!
Hello Katie, I’m wanting to bring a dessert to a party and was wondering if this pie is any less moist or anything than the deep dish cookie pie, considering the difference in the types of sugars. I’ve made the cookie pie and I and everyone who tried it really liked it, and so I’d like to try something else but don’t want to sacrifice how moist the cookie pie was.
Also, have you ever realized any difference in between using white beans vs. chickpeas? I used chickpeas last time, but I’ve only got white beans at the moment and I want to make this pie just as good as the last one. Will it be the same or should I just go buy some chickpeas?
My sister and I look nothing alike, but some people can tell we’re sisters by observing the way we move and talk and act. That’s true about my mom and her sisters also. Once a friend of my aunt who lived in Indianapolis went to Minneapolis where she got into an elevator with a woman whose mannerisms looked uncannily familiar. She couldn’t help but say something and discovered the woman was her friend’s sister, my other aunt! And they look nothing alike. Only somewhat related, my daughter and I sound exactly alike on the phone. Even my husband cannot tell who he’s talking to. Going to try the recipe for breakfast this morning!
I made this today and loved the simplicity of it (which is true of all your recipes). I cut the sugar back to one cup and it is still plenty sweet, especially with the icing. I used only 1 TBS of cinnamon because I am not a big fan of the spice. We were out of applesauce so I stewed an apple and added that. Super yummy results, but gooey. I used a deep dish option and think I need to cook it for much longer. We are dairy free so I used a maple syrup/powdered sugar icing with a pinch of cinnamon. Thanks for another dose of yumminess in our house!
