Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 1 cup pecans
• 1.5 cups oat flour
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup sugar substitute (e.g., stevia or monk fruit sweetener)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan.

Step 2

In a food processor, pulse the pecans until finely ground but not pasty.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground pecans, oat flour, and baking powder. Mix thoroughly.

Step 4

Melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly. Add the melted butter to the flour mixture and mix until crumbly.

Step 5

Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of the pie pan to form the crust. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to smooth it out evenly.

Step 6

In a separate large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Whisk in the eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, almond milk, and sugar substitute into the mashed bananas until fully combined.

Step 8

Pour the banana filling mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle additional pecan halves or pieces on top as a decorative garnish if desired.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is lightly golden.

Step 11

Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.

Step 12

Serve chilled and enjoy!
