Banana-Infused Pumpkin Pie

• 1 cup (90 grams) honey graham cracker crumbs, finely processed to a powder (from approximately 7 to 8, 2 1/2-x-4 7/8-inch, crackers)
• 1/4 cup (15 grams) unsweetened coconut flakes
• 3 tablespoons (38 grams) granulated sugar (can also use date, brown, coconut sugars)
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
• 5 tablespoons extra virgin coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted
• 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons almond, soy, rice or coconut milk
• 3/4 cup (about 213 grams) pumpkin puree
• 1 large ripe banana
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon flax seeds, optional

1. Lightly grease a (9-inch) pie dish and set aside.
2. Make the graham cracker crust.
3. In a small mixing bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, coconut flakes, sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt until combined.
4. Add the coconut oil (or butter) and mix together until the crust begins to clump together and resembles a wet sand.
5. Spread the crust out evenly in the pie dish and press it into the bottom and the sides.
6. Bake the crust for 4 minutes or until slightly toasted.
7. Transfer to a wire cooling rack while preparing the pumpkin filling.
8. Position the baking rack in the middle and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
9. Combine the milk, pumpkin puree, bananas, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, flax seeds, if using, and the remaining salt in a blender and mix on high speed until smooth.
10. Pour the pie filling into the crust.
11. Bake the pie for about 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until the pie looks soft but set, with a mostly firm center.
12. Transfer the pie to a cooling rack and let cool for 2 hours.
13. Serve immediately or refrigerate until needed.
14. The pie filling will firm up as it cools.
