This banana cream pie recipe was in desperate need of some sprucing up. Valentine’s Day was the perfect opportunity to remake this because my boyfriend loves it! Now that I know the dangers of coconut oil I’ve removed it and replaced it with healthy tasty alternatives. I also re-photographed it and made it look fancy! I know you’re super impressed. 😋

My man asks for banana cream pie regularly. Somehow there is never enough banana cream pie. I got tired of the vanilla pudding and store-bought pie crust, so we mixed it up with homemade toasted date crust, a layer of chocolate, and peanut butter in the filling. What recipe isn’t improved with peanut butter, really? This recipe is still pretty simple, but 1000x better than the vanilla pudding recipes. Of course, there’s no refined sugars in here. If agave is too refined or too sweet for you, feel free to remove or reduce it. The pie will still be great!

2 cups dates

1 tsp sea salt

1/2 cup water optional Chocolate 3 Tbsp peanut butter

2 Tbsp agave nectar optional

2 Tbsp cocao powder Filling 1 can coconut cream

1 vanilla bean or 1 tsp vanilla extract

1 Tbsp pure maple syrup

1 Tbsp peanut butter Topping 2-4 bananas ripe, extras optional for decoration

chocolate shaved, optional for decoration Servings: pie Units: Metric US Imperial Instructions Preheat oven to 350 °F. Put the crust ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until crumbs are rather small and sticky. You may need to add water to help it blend, scraping downt the sides as necessary. Press the crust to the bottom and sides of a pie dish. Bake for 20 minutes on middle rack. In the meantime, in a small bowl combine all chocolate ingredients and mix well. Remove the pie crust from the oven and spread the chocolate on top. It will be a thin layer. Add one sliced banana on top of the chocolate layer. If using a vanilla bean, slice open the bean and scoop out all the seeds. Throw out the pod. Mix all of the filling ingredients together in a large bowl except for the bananas. Pour the filling into the pie. If the filling is too thin, freeze it before adding the top banana layer. Use as many bananas as you need to create a design you're happy with (1-3 bananas.) Enjoy!
