The bananas add natural potassium, but the pie is still considered a treat, not a health food.
Classic versions use custard made from egg yolks, milk, and sugar, poured over a graham cracker or pastry crust.
National Banana Cream Pie Day is celebrated every March 2nd in the U.S.!

Contains saturated fats from cream and butter, which may impact heart health when overconsumed.
