Plantain Pie
Ingredients
1 prepared 9-inch pie crust
2 very well-ripened plantains (rinsed)
1 (24-ounce) jar mango slices in light syrup (drained)
2 eggs (or 1/2 cup egg substitute)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
Steps
1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Arrange pie crust in 9-inch pie plate; pinch or fold edges of dough to finish.
2. Cut ends off plantains; slice through peel lengthwise for easy removal. Remove and discard peels; place plantains in blender (or food processor). Add remaining ingredients and process 20–30 seconds, scraping sides down as needed, or until smooth and fully blended.
3. Pour mixture into pie crust. Bake 30 minutes or until center of pie is set and crust is golden. Cool completely and serve.
