Vegan Blueberry Pie

Vegan Blueberry Pie

 

Crust Ingredients 

1/2 cup coconut oil

1/2 cup of blended bananas

1/4 cup honey

1 ½ cups of sifted coconut flour (we used Bob’s Red Mill)

Pinch of salt

 

Pie Crust Instructions:

1. Place coconut oil in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave until melted.
2. Blend up bananas into a smooth paste in the blender.
3. Add bananas, honey, coconut oil and salt and stir well in a large bowl
4. Mix in coconut flour until dough forms.
5. Knead dough for about a minute and then form a ball. If it is too sticky, knead in a little more coconut flour.
6. Roll out dough between wax paper to form pie crust.
7. Butter bottom of a 9-inch pie pan and place dough in pan.
8. Prick bottom and sides of crust with a fork.

 

Tip: Coconut flour can be flaky to work with so don’t panic if your dough is not sticking like traditional wheat-based flour. Use a spoon or your thumbs to smooth out your dough in your pie pan. The bananas in this recipe will make the dough more on the wet side but it will taste very yummy.
