Equipment

Approximately 8 × 4-inch loaf pan
Parchment Paper
strainer
Blender or food processor
spatula
Wire cooling rack

Ingredients

1 15-ounce can white beans, fully cooked, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
0.25 teaspoon salt, optional
0.5 teaspoon dried thyme, rosemary, or Italian seasoning, optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an approximately 8 × 4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides.
Drain and rinse the white beans thoroughly. Pat them dry to remove excess surface moisture.
Add the beans, eggs, and baking powder to a blender or food processor. Add the optional salt or dried herbs, if using.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides, then blend again until no visible bean pieces remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until lightly golden and set in the center. A toothpick should come out without wet batter. Continue baking in short increments if necessary.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then lift it onto a wire rack using the parchment.
Cool completely before slicing. Serve plain, warm gently in a skillet, or add savory toppings.

Notes

Prep: 10 minutes. Bake: 35–40 minutes, with additional time if necessary. Cool: approximately 1 hour. Yield: 1 small loaf, approximately 8 slices. Use an approximately 8 × 4-inch loaf pan. The 15-ounce measurement refers to the can before draining; use its drained contents, approximately 1½ cups. Drain and pat the beans dry thoroughly. Bake until the center sets and a toothpick shows no wet batter. Cool completely before slicing. Optional seasonings: ¼ teaspoon salt and/or ½ teaspoon dried herbs. Refrigerate promptly after cooling. Nutrition values are rough estimates per slice for 8 slices, excluding optional salt and herbs; bean brands and drained weights affect the values.
