Cookie pie from chocolate covered katie

I have FINALLY been making an effort lately to actually MAKE some of the millions of recipes I have saved on Pinterest...are you too guilty of saving all these awesome looking things...and then never making them? ha! I'm totally Guilty. As. Charged. 

Cookie Pie from Chocolate Covered Katie

This "makeout chocolate cookie pie just HAD to happen... I mean.. LOOK at this...

Katie's original recipe can be found HERE - I made a few changes just because I wanted to use what I had on hand!

I love being able to dump all the ingredients in my food processor too - 

- 1 cup oats
- 2 cans of drained, rinsed and DRIED extremely well garbanzo beans - this is the most tendious part of all of it...drying them and I took off their shells too!
3 T canola oil
1/4 unsweetened apple sauce
1 1/3 cupSwerve granulated sweetener (I'll post the link below!)
1/2 t baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
about a cup of chocolate chips - instead of the nutella!

I layered half the batter into a spring form pan and after spreading it smoothly I sprinkled the top with chocolate chips! Then added the rest of the batter over the top and sprinkled the top with chocolate chips. Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes!

Here it is ready to go into the oven!

So gooey. Don't forget to top with some halo top ice cream...
