Easy 10 minute Raw Banana Nut Pie

So here’s the thing. I did not want to share this recipe because I was embarrassed at how simple it was and how quickly and haphazardly it came together. But my friend insisted and persisted until I gave in…

Basically, this is too easy and too simple – which makes me think it’s exactly what you need in your life!

10 minutes man! 10 minutes and you get a super amazing Raw Banana Nut Pie that tastes divine and is made with simple, real food ingredients. It is gluten free, dairy and egg free, vegan, paleo AND no bake and no wasting time to let it set either. Do you have 10 minutes today? Then you should make this healthy pie!

You’re welcome! :)

Raw Banana Nut Pie

raw, no-bake, gluten free, dairy free, vegan, paleo

Ingredients :

1 cup mixed nuts (I used a mix of almonds, walnuts & cashews)
6 Medjool dates, pitted
2 ripe bananas (reserve 1 for topping)
4 tablespoons raw cacao powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt or himalayan salt (optional)
about 3 tablespoons (a drizzle) of rice malt syrup or maple syrup or honey
a handful (about 1/4 cup) of cacao nibs for topping

Vanilla Ice Cream to serve (optional)

Directions :

Add the nuts to a food processor and grind until a fine texture. Add in pitted dates, 1 banana, cacao powder and salt into a food processor and mix on high until fully incorporated.

Scoop onto a flat-bottomed & rimmed dish and press firmly and evenly. Drizzle top with rice malt syrup and spread out with a butter knife (if does not have to be perfectly even). Top with slices with banana and cacao nibs.

Serve as is or with Vanilla Ice Cream!

Note : no need to chill to set but storing it in the refrigerator until serving time is recommended. Top with fresh banana slices just before serving. 

This is a very easy unfussy Banana Nut Pie. It’s great for those casual moments with friends. It’s not very fancy but oh does it ever impress on taste! 

You can have a friend over for coffee, then excuse yourself to get something from the kitchen, (maybe hand over a baby with a bottle of bubbles to them), and come back in 10 minutes with dessert!? Just a suggested scenario… It’s not like it happened. Or maybe it did. Moms are busy ok, and some may struggle to get things done before a guest comes over. :)

So even if that were to happen…. no one would know. My friend didn’t even realize I was gone to make it and was rally excited to eat up this pie. She went nuts for it in fact! I served it with So Delicious Vanilla Ice Cream and it was the perfect little treat on an especially gorgeous day. 

We had an Indian Summer sweep through at the beginning of November and it was the perfect way to enjoy the last bit of heat this year. In the fresh outdoors, with a friend, over a delicious dessert celebrating a very special project – can you guess what it is? ;)

Little Mia also loved this dessert! She could not keep her hands out of it when I tried to snap a few photos. haha I have learned to embrace that and treat it as a compliment :) Definitely #kidapproved too :)

I hope you will enjoy this simple AND delicious Banana Nut Pie Soon! If you just have 10 minutes today – you have time to make this dessert! So you can spend more time eating it than making it – isn’t that a very good thing :)

Wishing you a great day! xo ella
