Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked navy beans
- 1 cup Evaporated milk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 3 Large eggs
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked navy beans and evaporated milk. Blend until smooth and creamy with no visible lumps.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and both granulated and brown sugars together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, into the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the blended navy bean mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until the filling is smooth and well combined.
Pour the filling into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. The center should no longer jiggle when gently shaken.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before slicing and serving.
Optional: Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for garnish.
