Instructions

Prepare beans: Drain and rinse the white beans or garbanzo beans thoroughly to remove any canned flavor and ensure a smooth batter.
Blend ingredients: Add the beans along with quick oats or almond flour, applesauce or yogurt, oil or nut butter, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar to a food processor. Blend well until the mixture is smooth and uniform in texture.
Mix in chocolate chips: Transfer the blended batter to a bowl and fold in the chocolate chips evenly to distribute throughout the batter.
Prepare pan and pour batter: Grease a 9 or 10-inch springform pan generously. Then pour the batter into the pan, smoothing the surface for even baking.
Bake the pie: Place the pan in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 35 minutes until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
Cool and serve: Allow the pie to stand at least 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Serve warm or cool to room temperature as preferred.

Notes

Using a food processor yields a better texture than a blender according to the recipe author.
You can substitute quick oats with almond flour for a gluten-free option.
Choose applesauce or yogurt depending on whether you want a dairy or dairy-free version.
For a lower sugar version, use unrefined sugar or a sugar-free substitute.
Greasing the springform pan well is essential to prevent sticking.
If you do not have a springform pan, a regular 9-inch cake pan will work but the pie may be harder to remove.
