Banana Pudding Pie
(with an oat bran crust)

Crust: 
3/4 cup oat flour (oats blended into a flour)
1/2 cup quick oats
1/4 cup bran
1/8 cup Earth Balance buttery spread (or butter)                                    

1/8 cup coconut oil
1/2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp water

Crust Directions: 
Mix together the oat flour, oats and bran.
Melt the butter and then stir in the coconut oil, honey and water.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until all combined. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes and then press the mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 8" pie dish. Prebake in 375 F oven for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the filling: 
2 bananas, sliced
2 egg whites (1/4 cup)
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp honey
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1 tsp cornstarch

Place all the ingredients, in order, into a blender (I used my Magic Bullet) and blend until completely combined. Pour onto prepared crust and bake at 375 F for 15-20 minutes, until filling is set. Remove from oven and let cool completely before slicing. Store leftovers in the fridge.

Peanut Butter Yogurt 'Frosting' (optional)
1/4 cup vanilla yogurt
2 tsp PB2
1 tsp honey

Combine the frosting ingredients until the PB2 is fully incorporated, let sit in the fridge for until ready to use. If frosting is too thick, thin with a little bit of skim or almond milk.
