Healthy Vegan Mini Lemon Pies
I love this recipe because it’s:
Healthy and delicious.
Super quick and easy to make, no oven needed.
Ingredients are original, because you need to try sesame paste in desserts if you haven’t yet!
It provides enough energy for use as a pre-workout meal.
Simple Ingredients
GF quick oats
Black beans
Sesame paste
Maple syrup
Lemon zest
Fresh lemon juice
Cashews
Coconut cream
Coconut oil
Maple syrup
Turmeric
Don’t worry, you don’t taste the black beans; you taste the oats, maple syrup and sesame paste. You can also use drained cooked chickpeas instead of cooked black beans. It will change the flavor a bit, but will still be tasty.
Sesame paste: sesame paste is made with toasted sesame seeds, so it provides an amazing nutty flavor. I usually make my own by toasting sesame seeds and then blending them in the food processor, but you can just buy it if you prefer.
How to Make No Bake Mini Lemon Pies?
You do you need a good food processor to make the filling. I use a Ninja Blender for this type of recipe.
For the crust mix everything in a bowl and squeeze it a few times to break open the black beans.
Fill four muffin cups with this mix and put it in the freezer.
For the filling, mix everything in the food processor until creamy and smooth.
Add this lemon cream on top of the crust and back to the freezer for 20-25 minutes. You are done.

Notes
Black beans: don’t worry, you don’t taste the black beans in the curst; only the oats, maple syrup and sesame paste. You can also use drained cooked chickpeas instead of cooked black beans if you prefer. It will change the flavor a bit, but still be tasty.
Sesame paste: sesame paste is made with toasted sesame seeds, so it provides an amazing nutty flavor. I usually make my own by toasting sesame seeds and then blending them in the food processor, but you can just buy it too.
