Chocolate-covered Katie has redeemed herself. After my chickpea cookie dough fiasco, I had several recommendations to try Katie’s cookie pie recipe. It’s basically the same as the dough recipe, but you bake it. I had some serious doubts, because usually good tasting dough is the key to a good tasting cookie. Nevertheless I tried it and you guys were right—the cookie pie is great! It’s warm, gooey, and chocolaty. I have to admit that it’s not quite as good as this skillet cookie recipe, but it also doesn’t have two sticks of butter in it, so I really can’t complain. The real test will be to see if Daniel likes it. Hopefully I can get him to try it before he reads this and finds out what’s in it. Ok, I’m going to go have another piece. What? It’s healthy!
Unrelated to this post….I just saw in the top left corner of the page, I think you have a typo….should “stlishy” be “stylishLy”? Just a friendly side note!
Oh my gosh Rachel, you’re right! I am such a dummy for not noticing that. What a glaring typo! I fixed it, and thanks so much for pointing it out!
Can’t wait to try this out!
This looks so good. I can’t wait to try it. I wonder if a liquid sugar would substitute well, like agave or brown rice syrup?
Hmm… I’m not sure, it might mess up the texture. Have you ever substituted liquid sweetener for white or brown sugar in other baked goodies?
Canola!? Could I sub coconut oil?
I don’t see why not!
I know this is an old comment but I wanted to reply just in case anyone else read this and was wondering the same thing. I used melted coconut oil and it worked perfectly!
Umm, chickpeas and chocolate? Sounds strangely good, but looks really good!
Just made this batter on my lunch break (baking it at my friend’s house tonight.) SO TASTY. Expectations exceeded. OMMM NOMMMS.
Love the idea of this recipe bc of the no flour idea! I’m gluten intolerant- think I could do without the oats as well???
Love the site btw!
Sure, you could try it without the oats. It would probably just change the texture a bit.
Thank you for publishing this recipe. I just tried it and it’s still in the oven.
Does it rise? Mine didn’t at all after 30 minutes. I made it in a ridged tart pan.
Also how can I tell if it’s done? I’d love a way to test it.
Thank you
Mine didn’t really rise a noticeable amount, if at all. It was done after 35 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Deciding if it’s done is really a matter of preference. There’s no egg in it, so you can eat it completely raw if you want. :) To test for doneness you could always take a bite and if you want it less gooey in the center bake it a little longer. I recently baked this again but used almond extract instead of vanilla and I liked it even more.
Thanks.
ohhh this looks so yummy! I found the recipe on pinterest under Vegan. We are having friends over tomorrow (who are vegan) and I’m souring the web looking for recipes that will meet their desires but appeal to me!!! I think this one will do it!! I will be making this tomorrow! Can’t wait!
This looks delicious! A few of us were just talking over on my blog yesterday about how to sneak chickpeas into food. My husband “claims” he doesn’t like chickpeas but I bet he would eat this!
Ok People this is seriously better than the blondie brownies I have on my blog!
I didn’t have the white beans so I used a can of northern beans and a can of black beans. Do NOT pass this one up!
Mahalo for posting this one Amanda!
Aloha
These are SO good! I replaced the oil with 2 big spoonfuls of peanut butter and some water and I used a big spoonful of this calorie free whipped peanut spread in it. My word. These are wonderful!
Calorie-free whipped peanut spread????!!!! Where on earth do I find this nectar?!! I SO want to try this – my mouth is watering like a dog’s!!
This was awesome! I subbed more applesauce for the oil, but I like the idea of peanut butter, too. We added a dab of vanilla ice cream on top and gobbled it up!
Just made this and I love it. I didn’t have brown sugar so I used regular sugar. 1 1/2 cups seemed too much for me and I am happy I only used one cup. I think next time I make this I will make some changes. I will add a little bit more oats, the texture is pumpkin pie-syle that I don’t really like. So more oats for the texture and I Drwill add nuts hoping the chick peas get some nut flavor :) but its a very great cake I love the idea. Can’t wait to fool my kids and tell them they ate a chick pea cake :-D
Just made this! Me n hubby loved it. We were so surprised how good it was. Wonder the calories?
I LOVE that this is flourless and eggless! Going to try it with our stevia-sweetened hot cocoa mix instead of the brown sugar. Can’t wait!!
