Healthy Banoffee Pie

Hello, hello! Today I am sharing my healthy Banoffee pie recipe which is love at first sight and taste! I think you are going to enjoy making this. It's creamy and oh-so-tasty.

If you don't know what Banoffee pie is then think a lush dessert pie made with crumbled biscuits base topped with bananas, cream and toffee sauce.

Not the most waist friendly, so that's why I've prepared this healthier and lighter version. But please remember everything in moderation!

My healthy Banoffee pie is crushed nuts and dates base topped with caramel date sauce,  bananas and whipped coconut cream.

It's completely dairy and gluten free, vegan and the only sugar used are dates. This is definitely a much healthier Banoffee Pie while still super easy, delicious, and pretty too. 

How Do You Make Healthy Banoffee Pie?

Need a Banoffee pie recipe that’s gluten-free, vegan, and all-around healthier? YES, this is your recipe, and my goodness, it’s so good.

The base is made of dates, nuts and splash of water. That's it. Nuts are life! Never underestimate their ability to take the edge of a sugar-craving.

Dates help to make it all stick together and add toffee-like flavour.

The caramel sauce is a combination of dates, cashews and almond milk. It creates a silky, sweet and smooth caramel sauce which makes this healthy Banoffee pie completely decadent and divine but still light and airy!

I love bananas and pies, so this recipe is a dream come true. Bananas are one of the most popular fruit amongst athletes.

Not only because they have a good amount of good carbs in them , but also they are a good source of potassium which helps with lowering blood pressure. Make sure you use ripe bananas in this recipe, avoid the green ones.

Last but not the least is whipped coconut cream. All you need is a tin of full fat coconut milk. Pop it in the fridge the night before for it to be ready to use the next day.

The coconut cream will separate from the milk and solidify which will make it easy for whisking later.

I also want to say that making this Banoffee pie is very simple and relatively fast, even for a complete beginner. Plus this no bake pie, so there is not much to go wrong with it.
