Mini Raw Banana Cream Pies
These vegan, gluten-free, mini, raw banana cream pies combine the delicious flavors of banana, peanut butter, and chocolate chips.

Sometimes, things just come together and create something wonderful. These little pies are a perfect example. The crust is adapted from energy bites, and the cashew sour cream, featured in my coleslaw and borscht recipes, inspired the filling.
The Crust

The peanut butter crust is made with just a few simple ingredients:
- Dates
- Peanut butter
- Rolled oats
- Ground flax seed
I love combining peanut butter with bananas! Yum!
The Filling

The filling is made with:
- Cashews
- Banana
- Coconut oil
- Lemon
- Vanilla
- Mini chocolate chips
The flavor almost reminds me of chocolate chip cannoli.
Mini Raw Banana Cream Pies

I enjoy exploring different ways to use the same ingredients. These mini raw banana cream pies include some of my favorite foods and flavors! Who doesn’t love bananas and peanut butter?
These little beauties are super easy to make. You simply roll the dough into balls, then press it into a muffin tin. Lining the tin with plastic wrap makes it a cinch to remove the pies before serving.
When filling each cup, it’s best to go one spoonful at a time to ensure even distribution! Then, let the pies set in the fridge for at least an hour.
The crust remains somewhat soft—so eating these mini pies with your fingers can require some dexterity. But they are equally delicious when eaten with fingers or a fork!
What’s Needed
You’ll need a food processor to make the crust and the filling. Just rinse the parts in between steps to avoid getting crumbs in your banana cream. 😁
