This Pinto Bean Pie is a delicious, creamy, and sweet Southern classic, often compared to chess pie or pecan pie! It has a smooth custard-like filling made from pinto beans, sugar, molasses, and warm spices—a perfect dessert for any occasion!

Ingredients

  • 1 (15.5 oz) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained

  • ¾ cup evaporated milk

  • ¾ cup white sugar

  • ¼ cup brown sugar

  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 tablespoon molasses

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 (9-inch) prepared pie crust

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: Blend the Filling

  1. In a blender, combine the pinto beans, evaporated milk, white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, molasses, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

  2. Blend until smooth, about 40 seconds.

Step 3: Bake the Pie

  1. Pour the blended mixture into the prepared pie crust.

  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pie is set in the middle.

Step 4: Cool and Serve

 

  1. Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.

  2. Serve warm or chilled, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Texture: Pinto beans create a smooth, custard-like filling—no bean taste at all!

  • Molasses Substitute: If you don’t have molasses, use maple syrup or honey instead.

  • Serving Suggestion: Top with powdered sugar, toasted pecans, or caramel drizzle.

 

  • Storage: Keep leftovers refrigerated for up to 4 days.
