Ingredients
For the crust
- 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
- 2 T coconut oil , melted
- 2 T maple syrup
- 1 flax egg (real egg works too)
For the bananas
- 3 large bananas, sliced

- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For the coconut cream
- 2 cans of full fat coconut milk, chilled overnight
- 2 T maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
To make the crust:
- Preheat oven to 350. In a food processor , combine the almond flour, coconut oil, maple syrup and flax egg. Pulse until a dough forms. Transfer dough to a greased pie plate and press out crust. Bake for 10 minutes.
To make the bananas:
- In a medium saute pan , on low heat, add the bananas, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Saute for a minute and then cover and let the mixture simmer for another minute.
- Once the bananas look cooked down a bit, remove from heat and set aside.
- Once the pie crust is done, transfer the banana mixture into it and place in the fridge while you make the coconut cream.
To make the coconut cream:
- Open the 2 cans of coconut milk and scoop out the fatty white part. Place it in a mixing bowl with the other coconut cream ingredients. You can reserve the remaining water for smoothies.
- Using the whipping attachment on your mixer, whip into a cream. This may take several minutes on various speeds.
- Once a cream has formed, scoop it on top of the pie and spread out.
- Garnish the top with more sliced bananas and place in the fridge to set. About 1 hour.
