Pumpkin Banana Pie
I've been on the Whole 30 plan for 17 days now. Why so exact? Because I am counting down to day 30!! This plan is HARD. But so far I've been able to stick to it. I'm not sure if I am going to see physical results but I can say that I haven't napped in two weeks. I think that is pretty good for someone whose children are keeping her up all night!
I've been experimenting with ways to incorporate more vegetables into my diet. I'm not a huge veggie fan. I love a good salad but I want lots of stuff on it. I guess I don't mind eating them but they aren't the first thing I think about cooking. I am trying to change that by doing this challenge.
I decided that I needed a pumpkin dish that would satisfy my sweet craving that was Whole 30 compliant. I researched a few pumpkin pie recipes and came up with this.
Banana Pumpkin Pie
2 small bananas
2 eggs
14.5 oz can of coconut cream
14.5 oz can of pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix!)
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp chili powder
This recipe is easy to make and tastes great! Simply mix all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl until well combined. I did mine in 2 batches because I was experimenting. You could make this in a pie pan if you want. Or a 9x13. If you use a 9x13 the bars will be very thin. I'm going to make this again this week and I plan to use a mini muffin tin!
I baked mine at 425 for about 15 minutes and then at 350 for 15 minutes. Just check on it if you are using a larger or smaller container and take it out when it doesn't jiggle!
These were great hot and I think even better after sitting in the fridge over night!
If you haven't worked with coconut cream before you can actually use it to make a healthier version of whipped cream. Just put your can of coconut cream in the fridge overnight. When you open the can the top 2/3 of the can will be solid (it looks like Crisco). You can beat this with egg beaters and you'll have a nice healthy whipped cream! Save the milk for a treat!
I'd love to hear your versions or suggestions!!
