Banoffee pie is a classic English recipe made from bananas, whipped cream, and toffee laid on a base of crumbled biscuits and butter. It's delicious but an absolute health-bomb. That's why we have made this recipe: A healthier, gluten-free and vegan banoffee pie!

Apart from using small tarts, we have worked hard to reduce the amount of sugars and fats. Here's how we did it:

  1. Using a dairy-free cream, made with almond milk and honey instead of plain milk and sugars.

  2. For the base, we replaced plain biscuits with dates oats and nuts. Because most biscuits are made with butter and flour rich in gluten, by using these alternative ingredients you can rest assured you will get gluten-free and dairy-free results.

  3. For the toffee, we have used a blend of dates and vanilla instead of butter and sugar. This lowers the amount of sugar and fat and keeps the recipe dairy-free.

  4. From a single portion you will get 1/4th of your recommended daily dose of fibres!

We really hope you will enjoy this and if you love this kind of healthy and allergen-friendly recipes, you could be receiving two of them every week in your inbox! Or just find more instantly using our recipe discovery system.

step 2

Transfer the oat and date dough into a clean bowl and knead it until the ingredients come together.

Roll the dough into as many balls as the number of servings (1).

Line 10cm (4 inches) tart tins with cling film to remove easily the pies later on.

For each tart, flatten down one ball of oat and date dough pressing it with your fingertips toward the bottom and the edges (2).

Place the tart bases in the fridge to cool down and keep their shape.
