To Make Oatmeal Pie Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 355°F (180°C). Optionally, cut a piece of parchment paper into an 8-inch circle and line the bottom of the pie dish with it.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash 1 ripe banana using a fork or a potato masher. Add the oats, pumpkin puree, and sweetened condensed milk.
- Use a spatula to stir the mixture until a dough-like consistency forms.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie dish to form the crust.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes at 355°F. Remove from the oven and let it cool while preparing the filling.
To Make the Pumpkin Pie Filling:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, nutmeg (powder or freshly grated using a grater), ginger powder, cinnamon powder, and salt. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the filling into the pre-baked oatmeal crust.
- Bake at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes. The outer edges should be set while the center remains a bit wobbly.
- Allow the pie to cool at room temperature. As it cools, the filling will continue to set. Optionally top with whipped cream. Cut into 8 slices and Enjoy!
