Veestro's Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake Recipe

Veestro's Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake Recipe
If you enjoy homemade chocolate chip cookies, I think you'll enjoy making this unique recipe that offers up a twist on the classic chocolate chip cookies. Today's guest post recipe is courtesy of the great folks over at Veestro.

Veestro's Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake Recipe

Cooking spray or melted coconut oil
2 (14-oz) cans low-sodium chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups coconut sugar or turbinado sugar
1 cup fair-trade semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a 10-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and grease with cooking spray or coconut oil.

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, oats, applesauce, coconut oil, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, salt and all but 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Bake until the cake is browned around the edges but still soft in the center, about 40 minutes. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes; it will firm up a bit as it cools.

Run a knife around the edge of the pan to release the cake. Place a large plate on top and flip to invert the cake onto the plate. Place a serving plate on top of the inverted cake and flip again so the cake is right side up. Serve warm (if you can't wait) or slice it into wedges when it has cooled.
