Paleo Banana Cream Pie

Crust

1 ½ cups almond flour
pinch of salt
1 Tab. Cinnamon
2 Tab. Honey
1/3 cup oil (I do a bit less)

Filling

5-7 bananas (enough to fill the pie plate)
1 can coconut milk (refrigerate for at least 2 hours)
Small spoon full of Coconut Oil (to fry bananas)

Instructions:

Crust:

Mix all ingredients and press into a round pie plate (a square 8x8 will work too).
Bake crust for about 10-15min

Filling:

Cut all the bananas into thin slices and put into a large frying pan. Cook the bananas for about 5 minutes on medium heat and stir continuously. Careful you can burn them if you don’t move them around enough. You are just warming up the bananas and making them soft.

Then take the bananas off the stove top and stir in the refrigerated coconut milk until evenly coated on the bananas. Pour the bananas in the pie plate and put in the fridge.

Let set and cool in the fridge for a good 2-4 hours before eating. Overnight setting would be best!!!

ENJOY!!!!

6 medium eggs
1/2 cup honey (or less)
1 1/2 cups carrots, (they say to cook and puree them but I didn't)
1 Tlbs grated orange rind
1 Tlbs orange juice (I used fresh from the orange I grated)
3 cups almond flour


First, separate the yolk and the whites in the eggs (keep both parts!), then in a mixing bowl beat the egg yolks and the honey together.
Once the egg yolks and honey are mixed together add the carrot puree, orange rind, almond flour and orange juice.  now you will take the egg whites and beat them until stiff and fold in to mixture.  Take your final mixture and spoon it into a greased pan.  This recipe fits perfect in a 9" spring foam pan.  Bake at 325 degrees for 50minutes.  Use the toothpick to text an check and see if the cake is done. 

You can make this cake into a an apple, carrot, or zucchini cake.  You your imagination!  We had this for breakfast as it's so healthy!!!  :)
