My original recipe calls for ¾ cup melted Crisco. I tried ¾ cup bean but the texture wasn’t quite right, so I tried it again with just ¼ oil and the rest bean. It was great. I’d still like to try ¼ cup olive oil or applesauce with the bean to see how it turns out. I’ve also used bean in place of Crisco in my other recipes and as long as I put in a little oil it tastes great and has a good texture.
