AMERICAN SHEPHERD'S PIE
This is something my mom made for us as kids; comfort food at its best. My sister and I were pretty picky eaters for a while, and despite that, everyone in the family loved this dish. This variation on the theme of shepherds pie is sure to become a favorite in your home.

Directions
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Mash the bananas in a food processor (or mixing bowl) until smooth
- Add the butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla to the bananas. Cream thoroughly about 1 – 2 minutes.
- In a separate medium/small bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and rice protein.
- Grease muffin tins or line with muffin liners.
- Pour dry ingredients in with the wet ingredients, and mix. Add the 1/2 cup of milk. The batter should be thick but not exceedingly difficult to stir through. Add more milk if needed. If unsure, leave it.
- Put mixture into muffin tins, filling the cups up a little over 3/4 of the way, and sprinkle on almond slices. If you really want to get fancy, toast the almond slices before you put them on the raw muffins.
- Bake 15 – 20 min (19 min was perfect for my oven & altitude of 5,480ft), or until a knife comes out clean.
- Allow to sit a 5 – 15 min, then enjoy!
