A bean pie is a sweet custard pie whose filling consists of mashed beans, usually navy bean, sugar, eggs, milk, butter, and spices. Common spices and flavorings include vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Variations can include cloves and ginger.[1][2]
Bean pies are commonly associated with African American Muslim cuisine[3] except those containing vanilla extract or imitation vanilla extract because they contain alcohol. The pies are also associated with the Nation of Islam movement and Elijah Muhammad, who encouraged their consumption instead of richer foods associated with African-American cuisine. Members of the community commonly sell bean pies as part of their fundraising efforts.[4]
