Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Canned navy beans (drained and rinsed)
- 0.75 cup Low-fat evaporated milk
- 3 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Whole wheat flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 9-inch Low-fat premade pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan if it's not already in one, and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine the navy beans, low-fat evaporated milk, and egg whites. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the granulated sugar, honey, whole wheat flour, unsweetened applesauce, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and vanilla extract to the blender. Blend again until fully incorporated and smooth.
Pour the bean mixture into the prepared pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula if needed.
Place the pie on the center rack of your preheated oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for about 1 hour. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to firm up properly.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Slice into 8 even portions and enjoy your low-fat Southern Bean Pie!
