Many of you have probably tried the original version in the past, and today’s version is even better.
Wait, how can it be better?
Oh, I’m so glad you asked.
While there are a few improvements (less sugar, more ingredient options), the most important difference is that I decided to stuff this particular pie with an extra layer of chocolate, turning it into a chocolate stuffed chocolate chip cookie pie (say that three times fast), proving once and for all that there’s no such thing as too much chocolate.

Makeout Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie
Ingredients
- 2 cans garbanzo or white beans
- 1 cup quick oats, OR 3/4 cup flour or almondmeal
- 1/4 cup applesauce, yogurt, or pumpkin
- 3 tbsp oil, or 1/4 cup nut butter of choice
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp each: baking soda and salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup Homemade Nutella Recipe, or peanut butter, or your favorite chocolate spread of choice
- 1 1/3 cup regular or unrefined sugar or xylitol, (many readers say liquid sweetener works)
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips, or more if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9 or 10-inch springform pan, and set aside. Drain and rinse the beans extremely well. This is important. Combine all ingredients except the chocolate spread and chips in a food processor until completely smooth. (Although I haven't tried and so can't vouch for the texture, many readers say they've gotten good results with a blender.) Pour half the batter into the springform. If not already thin, gently heat the chocolate spread until runny. Swirl over the batter as evenly as possible, getting up to the edges. (See image above.) Spread remaining batter on top, then sprinkle on chocolate chips. Bake on the center rack 35 minutes. Let cool at least ten minutes before removing the springform. The pie will be firm enough to slice, and the texture will be reminiscent of unbaked cookie dough! Refrigerate leftovers 3-4 days.View Nutrition Facts

How big are the cans of beans?
I was thinking of how I wanted to make cookies with chickpeas since I was out of bananas and peanut butter, and the very next day this recipe pops up in my feed. I had my hesitations, but I went for it. Am I glad I did! It turned out great. Like another person shared, it’s best heated up to enhance texture and taste. I would definitely make this again. It’s very filling and it’s quite satisfying.
P.S. I used monk fruit sweetener in place of sugar and loved it. 😀
Do you think a banana would work instead of applesauce or yogurt or pumpkin?
I’ve made this recipe at least four or five times now (maybe more), and I gotta say that I really enjoyed this recipe every time! Here are a few tips for readers: if you happen to only have rolled oats instead of quick oats, simply shred them a bit in the food processor. I don’t advise shredding too much (turning the oats into a flour), otherwise the cookie pie cakes 10-20 minutes longer to cook. I enjoy the recipe every time, but the last batch I made (shredded the oats into a flour) apparently smelled like regular beans to my younger sister. I’m not sure if I bought a can of beans that had seasonings in it too or not. Other times were far more successful. I highly advise using navy beans over chickpeas any day; chickpeas just aren’t as moist.
I’ve never used yogurt, only apple sauce or pumpkin puree, and neither really change the taste or texture, I think.
Maybe to completely remove a possible bean taste, try mixing the vanilla extract inside and let it sit in the fridge overnight? It definitely helps with my personal tofu cheesecake recipe.
Hi,
How many cups of beans are in a 15 oz can? I want to cook my own beans instead of using canned ones.
Thanks!
Emma
1 1/2 cups drained beans in a typical 16oz can. Hopefully, the information isn’t too late. Do you can soak and boil at home too, if you wanted.
Hi, can you please give me the weight needed in garbanzo beans? I tried this recipe today in Ireland and it just didn’t cook properly no matter how long I left it in the oven, it wouldn’t firm up at all. Just wondering if the size of the garbanzo bean cans are more over here 🙂
I’m here for this comment as in my country there are 3 different sized cans
Hi! They are 15 oz cans, drained and rinsed.
I’m sorry but where is the recipe. Good explication though. 8/10
Hi, sorry what do you mean? The recipe is in the post 🙂
Hi, can you use almond flour or coconut flour? 3/4 cup? Thanks! Looks so yummy!
We haven’t tried but would guess that coconut flour would work as long as you use much less since it’s so absorbent. If you try it, be sure to report back!
This was a huge hit at my home! I made it oil free by replacing the nut butters with whipped aquafaba.
So delicious!
Can you do this in a regular glass baking dish instead of a springform pan? If so would an 8×8 or 9×13 be better?
We haven’t tried but would think a 9×13. Or here are two similar recipes (one with sugar, one with liquid sweetener such as maple syrup) that use an 8×8:

I used a 10” glass pie plate and it came out just great. Plus, I used all the substitutions, like Butter Beans, Apple Sauce, and Almond Flour. I’m not a fan of applesauce so I was skeptical but you’d never know it’s in there. Amazing recipe!
Made this for our Friday night dessert and we LOVED it!!!! Changes: Used 1 can chickpeas and 1 cannellini beans, natural Pb instead of chocolate spread, coconut sugar as the sweetener, and almond flour in place of oat. Thanks for a great recipe! This is definitely a keeper!
Thank you so much for trying it 🙂
