Many people are looking to improve their health by eliminating wheat, corn, and/or dairy from their diets. I have been experimenting with recipes that are free of wheat, corn, and dairy for several years. I've created "Ideal Ingredients" to share not only what I have learned, but also to share a delicious and healthy way of eating!

Special Note: If you are also avoiding eggs, you may substitute the following for 1 egg in my baked goods recipes.
1 egg = 1/3 cup applesauce OR 1/4 cup mashed banana OR 1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water

Crustless Coconut Custard Pie

This coconut pie is the perfect sweet ending to a casual weekend meal. Not only is it easy to make but it smells delicious as it bakes. My daughter and I whipped this up right before dinner. Then our family enjoyed it as we lingered at the table for after-dinner conversation.
Ingredients
3 large organic eggs
1 1/4 cups sugar
¼ cup oat flour*
1 T tapioca flour
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
½ cup Smart Balance or butter, softened
1 t vanilla
1 t apple cider vinegar
1 ½ cup flaked coconut, sweetened

*Make your own oat flour by measuring the desired amount (i.e. 1/4 cup oats) and processing dry in blender. This is economical and easy!
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Beat eggs and sugar. Add flours, coconut milk, Smart Balance or butter, vanilla, and vinegar. Blend until well combined. Stir in coconut.
Spray pie dish with canola cooking spray. Pour custard mixture into pie dish. 
Bake 45 minutes. The top should be golden and the filling should be set in the center. 
Cool for 30 minutes. If you prefer your pies warm, serve immediately. Refrigerate for a chilled pie.
