Instructions
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 375°F and give an 8-inch pie pan a good spray to keep things from sticking. In a saucepan, bring some water and brown rice to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low, cover it up, and let it simmer gently until the rice is soft and all the water is gone—this usually takes about 45 to 50 minutes.
Step 2
While the rice is cooking, mix together the peanut butter, applesauce, honey, and egg in a bowl until smooth. Once the rice is ready, add it to the bowl along with the garbanzo bean flour, oats, currants, coconut, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, baking powder, and cinnamon. Stir everything together until it’s well combined.
Step 3
Press the mixture evenly into your prepared pie pan. Pop it in the oven and bake until the edges turn a nice golden brown, which should take around 20 minutes. Let it cool a bit before slicing and enjoying!
