Sweet Red Bean Pie image

Think pumpkin pie, but with pureed beans and oatmeal instead of pumpkin! The texture of the filling is similar to a pecan pie with ground pecans, but the taste is just like any Fall-flavoured custard. Adapted from Bean by Bean by Crescent Dragonwagon.

Yield 1 9-inch pie, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (9 inch) pie crusts, unbaked (such as Potato Pastry Dough)
2 cups cooked adzuki beans
3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup whole milk

chopped pecans, for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425F and place the pie crust on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Puree the beans, butter, sugar, vanilla, milk and eggs in a food processor until smooth.
  • Add the allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, tapioca starch and rolled oats and process until smooth and the oats are finely minced. Mixture will be fluid.
  • Pour into the pie shell.
  • Sprinkle with pecans, if using.
  • Place the pie in the oven and bake on the middle rack for 12 minutes.
  • Reduce the temperature to 350F and move the pie to the lowest rack of the oven.

  • When done, the filling will be completely set.
  • Cool completely to room temperature, then chill overnight before serving.
