Hi friends! Today, I’m excited to share a blast from the past. This Chocolate Banana Pie post was first published in May 2013. The original photos had plenty of room for improvement. It’s long overdue, but I’m finally taking the time to update the old pictures.

As mentioned in the original post, this is the easiest pie I have ever made, and I still believe that today. I made two in the past two weeks for family gatherings. They were a hit, especially with my husband, who can’t get enough of them!

I use a ready-made pie crust to make the pie a cinch to put together. It’s quick and easy, and that’s what I’m about these days. But if you want to use your favorite pie crust recipe, go for it!

Below is the original post content in its entirety (with new photos).

Have you ever had something and wondered how you could go your whole life without it? Well, that’s the question I asked myself after I had this pie. I whipped one up a few months ago, and since then, I’ve made AND EATEN more than my fair share.

The idea for the pie struck me one day while I brainstormed recipe creations for the blog. I began thinking about bananas and how much I enjoy them warm. I love their velvety texture, warmth, and sweetness. I decided to make a banana pie simply because I had never seen or tasted one. It has since become one of my favorite pie recipes.

This will definitely be my future go-to dessert. It’s the easiest pie I have ever made. Although it is perfectly tasty at room temperature or cold, it is AMAZING hot. Pair it with ice cream (coconut is my preference) and a drizzle of chocolate sauce…heavenly!

Try it, and let me know what you think!

Description

Chocolate Banana Pie with slices of sweet banana and chocolate chips is one of the easiest pies you can make. It is a perfect dessert year-round and is fantastic served hot or cold.

Ingredients

• 2 refrigerated pie crusts
• 11 – 12 (about 8 cups) medium bananas, ripe but firm  
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon flour
• heaping 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon milk
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar in the raw
• Store-bought chocolate sauce (optional)
• ice cream (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Position the rack to the 2nd lowest rung from the bottom. Place a baking sheet on the rack and allow to preheat.
2. Peel and cut bananas into 3/4-inch chunks. Place in a large mixing bowl. Combine flour, cinnamon, and sugar in a small bowl and blend well. Add to bananas, stirring gently to coat. Add to bananas, stirring gently to coat.
3. Place one pie crust on the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Add 1/3 of the banana filling. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the chocolate chips. Repeat layering 2 more times.  
4. Place the second pie crust over the filling. Tuck the edges of the crust under. Crimp the edges using your fingers or tines of a fork. Use a sharp knife to make a few 1/2-inch slits in the crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the crust with milk and sprinkle with sugar in the raw.
