About Bean pie

Bean Pie is a traditional dessert rooted in African-American Muslim cuisine, particularly associated with the Nation of Islam. This delicate custard-style pie is made primarily with mashed navy beans, eggs, evaporated milk, sugar, and warming spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla, all baked in a flaky pie crust. The beans contribute a creamy texture while adding a dose of protein and fiber, which makes this dessert unique among sweet treats. While it offers a healthier twist compared to many high-fat or overly sugary pies, Bean Pie isn’t free of indulgence. Evaporated milk and sugar increase its calorie and sweetness levels. Nonetheless, it represents a clever blend of wholesome ingredients and satisfying flavor. Ideal for special occasions or to enjoy as a cultural staple, Bean Pie is both a nod to heritage and a delightful treat for the palate.
