This vegan rhubarb, strawberry and banana pie is very fruity and delicious. The pastry is made with coconut oil with a hint of cinnamon (which you can omit if you are not keen on it).
This pie is best made a day ahead as it does need to cool down completely so that the juices solidify.
If you are unsure about making the lattice top just cover the pie with a plain layer of pastry leaving a hole in the middle so that the steam can come out of the pie while it is baking.
I hope you enjoy this vegan rhubarb, strawberry and banana pie recipe as much as I do. If you do make it, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram!

Equipment

Ingredients
- 300 g plain flour
- 4-5 Tbsp coconut oil – solid
- pinch of salt
- 2 Tbsp caster sugar
- 150 – 200 ml cold water
- 1 tsp cinnamon – optional
- 600 g rhubarb
- 500 g strawberry
- 300 g banana without the skin [10 oz or 3 medium bananas]
- 200 g soft brown sugar + 1 Tbsp for dusting
- 2 Tbsp corn flour
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- To make the pastry, place the flour, salt, caster sugar and cinnamon (if using) in a bowl. Mix in the solid coconut oil. Work with your fingers until the oil has been incorporated and the flour looks like sand.
- Add cold water little by little working the dough into a bowl. Knead until you have a smooth dough (you might need to add flour or water).
- Wrap the dough into cling film and place in the fridge for 2 hours (or in the freezer for 1/2 hr).
- When you are ready to assemble the pie, pre-heat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6.
- Line a pie dish with baking sheet. Roll out 3/4 of the pastry on a surface dusted with flour. Place pastry at the bottom of the pie dish.
- In a large bowl, trim and cut the rhubarb in 1 cm chunks. Add the strawberries (hulled and quartered). Add the mashed bananas.
- Mix well together with sugar, corn flour and vanilla.
- Transfer the fruit mixture to the pie dish and flatten carefully.
- To make the lattice, roll out the rest of the dough and cut long thin strips with a knife (or, if you have one, a fluted pastry wheel). Place one layer of strips on top of the pie evenly spaced. Add another layer of strips perpendicular to the first layer.
- Dust pie top with 1 Tbsp of brown sugar.
- Place in the oven for 20 mins then reduce oven temperature to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4. Cook for around 1 hour until pastry is golden.
- Remove from oven and leave to cool completely before serving so that the juices can solidify.

Just made this on Christmas Eve, lovely!
Never made a pie before but i’m trying to learn to new bakes! The supermarket didn’t have strawberries or rhubarb (out of season and it is Christmas Eve!) so I did an apple and plum pie, plus an apple and blueberry pie. Both turned out GREAT, thanks for the recipe! 🙂 Happy Christmas x
