Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Cooked navy beans
• 1 cup Pitted dates
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 Pre-made whole-wheat pie crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the cooked navy beans, pitted dates, unsweetened almond milk, and melted butter. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Add the eggs, pure vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt to the blender. Blend again until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Place the whole-wheat pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the bean mixture into the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula if needed.

Step 5

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 6

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This allows the filling to set further and develop its flavors.

Step 7

Serve the pie at room temperature or slightly chilled. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
