No Bake, Easy to Make Banana "Cream" Pie

6/11/2012

If you have extra ripe bananas around and you are unsure what do with them make this pie.  It is a very healthy and nutritious recipe that can be made very quickly in a food processor.  Ripe bananas can also be put in banana bread, muffins, pancakes or could be frozen and put in smoothies. 

This pie is gluten, dairy and refined sugar free. The nuts, chia seeds, coconut milk and cocoa powder are all cardiovascular protective and contain many other health benefits (fiber, antioxidants, healthy fat, omega-3, protein).  Honey supports the immune system and cinnamon helps regulate blood glucose. Dates are a source of many vitamins and minerals as well as a source of fiber.

Recipe

Put a can of coconut milk in the fridge for about 30 minutes-1 hour.

Use coconut oil to grease a 9 inch glass pie dish – put about ½ tsp on dish and spread around with a clean cloth or paper towel.
