Banana Almond Pie

Most my recipes are from another source but I have then modified them to fit a No Sugar No Grain (NSNG) eating style.  I originally found this post via a  NSNG support group on facebook at http://paleorecipequeen.blogspot.com.au/2011/05/paleo-strawberry-banana-pie.html?m=1

If your sweet tooth is aching, try this treat!

Time: 40 - 45 minutes
Makes: 1 Standard Size Pie

Ingredients
Crust:
1 1/2 cup Almond Flour (I had to search the grocery store for this.  I finally found it in the organic/gluten free section)
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon

Filling:
2 ripe Bananas
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
3 Eggs
2/3 cup Coconut Milk (I couldn't find un-sweetened coconut milk in my grocery story.  I used normal whole milk and the pie came out great)
2 cups Strawberries
(1 cup Blueberries - Optional)

Equipment (aka Things you will need to wash...)
Muffin Pan
Egg Beater
Sharp Knife
Cutting Board
Measuring Cup (1 tsp, 1tbsp, 1/3 cup, 1/4 cup, 1/2 cup, 1 Cup)
Spoon
2 Medium Mixing Bowls

Method
  1. Pre-Heat Oven to 350 F
  2. In the Medium Mixing Bowl, mix together your Almond Flour, Butter, Salt and Cinnamon.
  3. Dump the whole thing into your pie pan
  4. Gently spread out the crust mixture (I like to use my hands for this part, but I suppose you could also use a soon...)
  5. In the second Medium Mixing Bowl, mash-up your bananas
  6. Add Lemon Juice, and Vanilla Extract (I did this by hand, but you can do this in a mixer/blender if you want.  It all depends how well mixed you want everything to be!)
  7. Gently add and mix the Coconut Milk and Eggs with the Banana mix
  8. Carefully pour the filling into the pie crust
  9. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the center is set (the clean knife test that you know from cakes is a good way to check how set it is)
  10. Let the pie cool. Then top it with all the deliciousness that is berries! Strawberries, Blueberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, all berries!
  11. Serve and Devour!

I almost forgot to take a photo until it was almost all gone!


Good Luck and Happy Eating!
