Servings: 8 slices
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Gluten Free Rolled Oats or regular rolled oats
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil plus more for greasing the pie dish
- 2 teaspoon coconut sugar or sugar of choice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare a 9-inch pie dish by greasing with olive oil.
- Blend the oats in a blender or food processor 2-3 minutes until it becomes a flour mixture.
- Transfer blended oats to a mixing bowl and stir with sugar and salt to combine.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture, add olive oil and stir until crumbly. Add 4 tablespoons of water, one tablespoon at time to the mixture, while stirring until the dough becomes slightly moist and sticky.
- The batter may still fall apart, but will stick together easily if you pinch it together. If it doesn't, add 1-2 tablespoons of water more.
- Press the dough into the prepared pie dish. Press it flat and even across the bottom and up the sides.
- You can either 1) store the unbaked pie shell in the refrigerator in the pan until you're ready to bake a pie or 2) bake it at 375 F for 10 minutes until golden brown. If you bake it ahead of time, you can bake a pie in it after it cools or store the pie crust in the refrigerator up to 10 days until you make a pie.
Notes
- I haven't tried freezing the dough, but I suspect you could. If you try that, please leave a comment below. This helps others!
- I do not recommend using oats other than rolled oats or oat flour purchased from the store.
