Vegan Banana Cream Pie

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish lightly.
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated.
   • Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of the prepared pie dish, forming an even crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a saucepan, combine the mashed bananas, coconut cream, maple syrup, cornstarch, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
   • Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.
   • Once thickened, remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Assemble the Pie:
   • Pour the banana filling into the cooled pie crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
   • Arrange sliced bananas on top of the filling, covering the entire surface.
   • Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until set.
4. Serve:
   • Before serving, top the pie with dollops of vegan whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed walnuts or pecans if desired.
   • Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy the creamy, banana-infused goodness!
