Instructions
1
Preheat Oven and Cook Rice
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray an 8-inch pie pan so nothing sticks. In a saucepan, bring the water and brown rice to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the water has been absorbed.
2
Mix wet and dry ingredients
While the rice cooks, mix together the peanut butter, applesauce, honey, and egg in a bowl until smooth. Once the rice is ready, add it to the peanut butter mixture along with the garbanzo bean flour, oats, currants, coconut, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, baking powder, and cinnamon. Stir everything until it’s well combined.
3
Bake Until Golden
Pour the mixture into your prepared pie pan, spreading it out evenly. Pop it in the oven and bake for around 20 minutes, or until the edges turn a nice golden brown. Let it cool a bit before slicing and enjoying!
