Banana Slice-Not-Split Pie

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Banana Slice-not-Split Pie - FeastingonFruit.com

Graham cracker crusts and chocolate crusts, fruity crusts and oat crusts. But I think I may have just discovered my favorite crust of all: the rice crispy crust!

Banana Slice-not-Split Pie - FeastingonFruit.com

I usually make my marshmallow-free rice crispy treats with brown rice syrup, but I was out. So I used coconut nectar to sticky my crust together, and I can now tell you from experience that brown rice syrup is a better rice crispy glue. The crispy crust just didn’t crispify quite the same way with the coconut nectar. BUT if you freeze it…problem solved! Or you can just use trusty ‘ole brown rice syrup…problem still solved! And if you really want to treat yourself, you could try a chocolate crispy crust.

Sliced not split. Coined not halved. Stacked in a pie not stuffed with ice cream. There are some definite differences between this and a banana split, most notably the lack of ice cream (not to say it wouldn’t be a tasty addition). But the banana base, the choco drizzle, the nutty sprinkle, and especially the cherry on top are all a little reminiscent of a banana split. Just take a few steps back and sort of squint a bit and you’ll see what I mean. Or watch the video…

Pin Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • FOR THE CRUST
  • 2 cups brown rice crispies (I really like One Degree Organic’s brown rice crisps)
  • 3 tbsps coconut nectar or brown rice syrup
  • FOR THE CHOCOLATE SAUCE
  • 2 tbsps cacao powder
  • 2 tbsps coconut nectar
  • 1 tbsp water
  • EVERYTHING ELSE
  • 4–5 bananas (sliced)
  • Toppings (nuts, dried fruit, cacao nibs, etc.)
  • 2 sweet cherries

Instructions

  1. FOR THE CRUST: Heat the coconut nectar until it starts to bubble. I microwaved it for about 30 seconds on high. Use a large container and watch it carefully, it can bubble over very quickly.
  2. Mix the warm coconut nectar into the rice crispies.
  3. Divide the sticky crispies between two pans that are lined with wax paper or lightly oiled.
  4. Press the crust into the pans with a sheet of wax paper to keep it from sticking to you fingers.
  5. Freeze for at least 10 minutes.
  6. FOR THE CHOCOLATE SAUCE: Whisk all the ingredients together until smooth.
  7. Once the crusts are chilled and crunchy, layer in the sliced bananas, sprinkle on toppings, and drizzle the sauce over top. And don’t forget the cherry!
  8. Eat immediately.

    This pie looks so delicious, Natalie! I love all the ingredients used in it as well (yay bananas!!) – I have tried cooking with coconut nectar yet but it looks so perfectly sticky – perfect for granola bars too! YUM!

    I love your videos – I just subscribed to your youtube channel as well! Yay!

      Yes it is SO sticky! Not quite as sticky as brown rice syrup, but getting there. It has a slightly tangy flavor, kind of like bee free honee (or real honey I guess), I’m starting to use it more and more 🙂 And thanks for subscribing <3

    Hi Natalie, is this just the cutest thing ever?! So simple too! I bought coconut nectar awhile back and was surprised at the flavor not being as sweet as I thought or hoped….I thought it would taste just like coconut sugar, but in liquid form, but it doesn’t taste like that at all. Wasn’t a huge fan, but since I hate wasting ingredients, I will find a use for it, lol! I think your recipe is perfect using, just the right amount of sweetness for a crust! Super cute!

      I totally agree! I didn’t like it when I first tried it either, I have had the same one bottle for almost a year because I didn’t know how to use it. While I still prefer coconut sugar, I’m slowly coming to like the flavor of coconut nectar more and more. Maybe it’s something you have to get used to, it kind of has that tang and it’s not super sweet. But I know you’ll find something to use it for 😉

    Two bananas per person seems to be too much, otherwise sounds good.

DAIRY-FREE CHOCOLATE CREAMI RECIPE🍫 I’ve made DAIRY-FREE CHOCOLATE CREAMI RECIPE🍫 I’ve made this many many times to get it just right, and alas it is PERFECT. Date-sweetened, high protein, and soooooo creamy🍦 Add whatever mix-ins you love (chocolate chips, sprinkles, brownie chunks, cookie dough, m&ms, granola, etc.)

If you don’t have a Ninja Creami, I’ll pop the link to my blender chocolate soft serve recipe in my stories✌️

INGREDIENTS
1 cup (240g) cashew milk (or almond milk)
1/2 cup (120g) canned coconut milk
2 scoops (40g) chocolate protein powder (I use @sproutliving)
2-3 (65g) pitted medjool dates
2 tbsp (12g) cocoa powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: 1 tbsp (16g) chocolate @sunbutter, peanut butter, or tahini

Blend all the ingredients until smooth. Pour into a Creami container and freeze overnight. Process on the light ice cream setting, it will be powdery at this point. Add a splash of milk (preferably coconut) and re-spin once or twice as needed. Add mix-ins of choice, and process on the mix-in setting. Enjoy!

No-Churn Pistachio Ice Cream💚 A love it or hate No-Churn Pistachio Ice Cream💚 A love it or hate it flavor, but if you love it you will LOVE this recipe! Dairy-free, just 6 ingredients, and creamy as can be thanks to @edwardandsons Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream🍨

INGREDIENTS
-1 cups (130g) raw pistachios, shells removed
-2 cans 13.5oz cans @edwardandsons Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream
-1/3 cup (105g) maple syrup
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1 tsp almond extract
-1/2 tsp salt
-Optional: 1/8 tsp spirulina or 1/4 tsp matcha powder for color

INSTRUCTIONS
Shake the coconut cream cans and pour the entire contents into a medium saucepan. Add pistachios, maple syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and simmer for 15 minutes stirring occasionally. It will thicken slightly and the pistachios will soften. Remove from heat, stir in the extracts, cool 10 minutes. Blend until very smooth.

Pour into a silicone ice cube tray and freeze overnight. The next day, blend the cubes with a splash of coconut cream until creamy. If you don’t have a blender with a tamper, I recommend using a food processor and stopping to scrape down the sides often. You will have a soft-serve consistency at this point.

Transfer to a loaf pan, freeze 30-60 minutes until it is scoop-able but not frozen solid. Then scoop and serve. Keep leftovers in the freezer, covered. To serve from fully frozen, thaw 30-45 minutes until soft enough to scoop.

If you have an ice cream maker: cool the mixture 1-2 hours after blending, then churn for 30-45 minutes

If you have a Ninja Creami: cool the mixture for 30 minutes, then pour into Creami containers and freeze overnight. Then process on the ice cream setting. If it comes out powdery, add a splash of coconut milk and re-spin 1 to 2 times

Copycat KUDOS GRANOLA BARS😋 a.k.a. really yummy Copycat KUDOS GRANOLA BARS😋 a.k.a. really yummy, chewy, easy, chocolate chip, chocolate dipped, granola bars!

INGREDIENTS
-4 cups (120g) crispy rice cereal
-2 cups (160g) quick oats
-2 14oz cans sweetened condensed coconut milk
-1/2 tsp salt
-3/4 cup (120g) mini chocolate chips
-1/2 cup (80g) chocolate chips, melted

Combine cereal, oats, and salt in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the sweetened condensed coconut milk to a simmer. Simmer and whisk until smooth and visibly thickened (8-10 minutes). Pour on top of the dry ingredients and mix until evenly coated. Set aside to cool about 10-15 minutes (IMPORTANT so you don’t melt the chocolate chips!)

Preheat the oven to 250°F. Fold in mini chocolate chips. Transfer mixture to a square baking dish (8×8”) lined with parchment paper, place a piece of wax paper on top, and use your hands or another pan to press in VERY firmly. Bake 1 hour at 250°F. Cool, then chill 4 hours (makes them easier to slice/coat). Lift out of the pan, slice into 10 bars.

Dip the bottom of each bar in melted chocolate, then place on wax paper to set. Drizzle the tops with more melted chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set.

EASY LINZER FLOWERS🌸 Perfect last minute baking EASY LINZER FLOWERS🌸 Perfect last minute baking for a mama you appreciate, or just a springy sweet treat for yourself too. With a raspberry pomegranate filling that is the perfect tart-sweet balance to these buttery cookies❤️

INGREDIENTS
-1/2 cup (113g) dairy-free butter, softened
-1/2 cup (110g) cane sugar
-2 tsps vanilla extract
-1 1/2 cups (180g) gluten-free or all-purpose flour
-3/4 cup (84g) almond flour
-Zest of one lemon
-1/4 tsp salt
-1 jar @stdalfourusa Raspberry & Pomegranate Fruit Spread
-Optional: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted for dipping/drizzling OR powdered sugar for dusting

In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or using a hand-mixer, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy (about two minutes). Add sugar and vanilla extract, beat again to combine. Place a mesh strainer on top of the bowl and measure out the flours and salt. Sift in all together, then add the lemon zest. Mix on medium speed to form a crumbly dough. 

Gently knead the dough into a ball. Roll out the dough between two sheets of wax paper to about 1/4 inch thickness. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut out using a linzer cookie cutter–half should be solid cookies, half should have the center punched out. Carefully transfer cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 9-10 minutes, until golden brown around the edges. Let them cool 10 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. 

Flip over the solid cookies, and place a teaspoon of fruit spread on the center of each. Top with the cut-out cookies. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
