Ingredients
  

For the Pie:
  • 2 cans garbanzo or white beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup quick oats or 3/4 cup flour or almond meal
  • 1/4 cup applesauce or yogurt or pumpkin
  • 3 tbsp oil or 1/4 cup nut butter of choice
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup homemade Nutella or peanut butter, or your favorite chocolate spread
  • 1 1/3 cup regular or unrefined sugar or xylitol
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips or more if desired

Equipment

  • Food processor or blender
  • Mixing Bowl
  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your pie bakes evenly.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Beans: In your food processor, combine the rinsed and drained garbanzo or white beans with the quick oats (or your chosen flour). Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Mix in Wet Ingredients: Add the applesauce (or yogurt or pumpkin), oil (or nut butter), and vanilla extract to the bean mixture. Blend until everything is well combined and smooth.
  4. Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients in the processor, blending until just incorporated.
  5. Step 5: Sweeten the Deal: Now, add the sugar (or xylitol) and blend again until the mixture is smooth and silky.
  6. Step 6: Fold in the Chocolate: Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl and gently fold in your choice of chocolate spread and chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
  7. Step 7: Pour into the Pie Dish: Spread the batter into a greased 9-inch pie dish, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even finish.
  8. Step 8: Bake to Perfection: Place the pie in your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly firm but still soft. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Step 9: Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This will help it set up a bit more, making it easier to cut.

Notes

  • This pie can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
