Natalie, from Fit & Gluten Free<\/strong><\/a>, received some of our popular banana flavoured Pure Whey Protein<\/a>\u2122 and the first recipe idea that popped into her head was a Banoffee Pie.<\/p>\n

But not just any Banoffee Pie. This one is pretty special. It’s gluten-free (obviously), free from refined sugars, full of good fats, has good fibre content and is high in protein too!<\/p>\n

Here’s how she made it…<\/p>\n

Method:<\/h3>\n

1.) Preheat the oven to 180c.<\/p>\n

2.) Put the oats on a baking tray lined with baking paper and place in the oven for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n

3.) While the oats are in the oven, smash the cashew nuts into small pieces (I do this by wrapping them in a tea towel and hitting it with a rolling pin \u2013 it\u2019s a good way to get out any stress too).<\/p>\n

4.) Put 60g of dates into a food processor with a little water (about 10mls) and blend until they there are no longer any big chunks \u2013 it doesn\u2019t need to be completely smooth though.<\/p>\n

5.) Remove the oats from the oven and (once cooled) use your hands to bind the oats, dates and cashew nuts together.<\/p>\n

*You won\u2019t need the oven after this so you can turn it off now*.<\/p>\n

6.) Line the base of the dish with the mixture and press it down so it binds to form a solid base for the pie.<\/p>\n

7.) Put in the fridge for 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

Caramel Sauce & Bananas<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.) Put the remaining 115g of dates into a food processor with approx. 60mls\u00a0of water, then blend until it becomes a thick sauce.<\/p>\n

2.) Spread\u00a0the sauce over the base and then slice the banana before placing the slices on top of the \u2018caramel\u2019.<\/p>\n

3.) Put the pie back into the fridge while you make the topping.<\/p>\n

\"Caramel<\/p>\n

Greek Yoghurt & Topping<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.) Put the Greek yoghurt into an empty bowl and add the banana whey protein powder onto the top<\/p>\n

2.) Using a whisk (electric if you have one), mix the protein powder and Greek yoghurt well before scooping on top of the banana layer of the pie<\/p>\n

3.) Then return to the fridge for at least 20 minutes before serving<\/p>\n

4.) If you want the Greek yoghurt to set well (like in the photos) then it needs to be left in the fridge overnight<\/p>\n
