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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked navy beans and evaporated milk. Blend until smooth and creamy with no visible lumps.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and both granulated and brown sugars together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, into the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually add the blended navy bean mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until the filling is smooth and well combined.

Step 7

Pour the filling into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Optional: Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for garnish.
