EAsy banana cream pie layered ingredients

Granola, I like to use homemade granola, but use your favorite store-bought or homemade, just make sure it is not very sweet.
Maple or agave syrup, you could skin this ingredient if your bananas and other ingredients are very sweet.
Dates pitted and soaked in boiling water for 10 minutes. Save the liquid. Dates are important in the recipe to give the first layer and the caramel sauce that extra chewy texture.
Almond butter, use homemade or unsweetened storebought.
Coconut oil
Vanilla extract
A good pinch of sea salt
Bananas, ripe bananas. Look for ones that are just right and with no brown spots.
Full-fat coconut milk (cooled for over an hour or overnight in the fridge)

How to make the vegan banana cream pie (banoffee pie)

For the first layer put into a food processor the granola, the maple syrup, the dates, and almond butter. Pulse until a chunky crumble forms. Place the mixture in a mixing bowl until ready to use.
For the banana caramel. Soak the pitted dates for ten minutes in boiling water. Then put them in the food processor with two tablespoons of the soaking liquid. Add the coconut oil, the almond butter, the vanilla, the salt, and the bananas. Mix until smooth.
For the homemade whipped cream. In a large bowl scoop, the thick white top layer from the coconut milk can. Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract and whisk until stiff peaks form. Put into the fridge until ready to use.
For serving. Divide the first layer of crumbles into six small glasses or jars, then do the same with the banana caramel, forming the second layer. Then, slice the other two bananas and top the banana caramel with them. Finish each individual banoffee pie with a dollop of whipped coconut cream.
