Ingredients:
- 2 cups diced fresh pineapple
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pre-made whole wheat pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
Step1:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a saucepan, combine the diced pineapple, cornstarch, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step2:
Place the whole wheat pie crust in a pie dish and crimp the edges. Pour the cooked pineapple filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly. In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, melted coconut oil, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined and crumbly.
Step3:
Sprinkle the oat topping over the pineapple filling, covering it completely. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Step4:
Serve slices of this delicious pineapple pie warm or chilled, topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired. Enjoy your guilt-free indulgence!
