The Pregnancy Food Co Oat & Rye Banoffee pie
Delicious and refined sugar free it’s always a conversation piece too! It tastes like a treat so friends don’t feel like they are being denied a ‘proper’ pudding - but without any real nasties.
Ingredients:
200g Oats
100g Rye flour
150g salted butter
200g pitted dates (medjool if you can get them)
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 heaped tbsp peanut butter
10 tbsp hot water
3 bananas
a few good tbsp’s of greek yoghurt
dark chocolate for decoration
Method:
Soften the butter and mix well with the oats and rye flour. Spoon into round cake tin ( I use a 9 inch one), push down on the mixture so it creates a thin layer. Put in the fridge.
Blend the dates with the hot water until they turn a nice caramel colour and smooth texture. Pour into a bowl, add vanilla essence and peanut butter - mix in well.
Spread the date mixture over the oat base, creating an even layer on top. Pop back in the fridge.
Refrigerate for 2 hours (if you don’t have time to do this - don’t panic!)
Slice your three bananas and arrange on top of the date mix, then spoon your greek yoghurt on top & spread evenly.
Grate your chocolate for a little decoration on top!
