Ingredients

1 15oz. canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
2 large eggs
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup semolina flour
1/2 cup chickpea flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp dried garlic
1/2 tsp cumin powder

Instructions

Preheat oven at 350 degree Fahrenheit and prepare a cookie sheet or a pizza pan with a parchment paper and grease it very well.
In a food processor combine black beans, eggs and oil and grind smooth.
In a mixing bowl combine rest of the ingredients and mix with a spoon.
Now fold in the ground black beans mixture to the dry ingredients and mix vigorously with a spoon until well blended. Let the pizza batter stand for 1 minute.
Now pour the batter on the prepared sheet and shake the sheet gently holding both sides tight for the batter to take its own shape. Do not let the batter separate.
Place the sheet in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Make sure the tester comes out clean. Take out the sheet and top the pizza crust with your favorite toppings and bake again for 5 minutes or until the cheese melts. Once done, take it out, slice and enjoy!

Notes

Vegan option : replace eggs with 2 tsp chia seeds soaked in 6 tbsp. water. Also, top the pizza with vegan cheese instead of regular ones.
Make sure to grease the baking sheet and the liner very well to avoid sticking.
After pouring the batter at the center of the sheet shake the sheet gently for the batter to take its own shape but it should not separate at all. You may use your finger gently to shape it if needed.
Make sure to drain all the water from black beans.
This pizza will rise slightly while baking and its edges would be crisp and soft at the center.
The batter would be thick and not runny.
