Ingredients

• 1.5 cups rolled oats
• 0.5 cups almond flour
• 4 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons cold water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Add the rolled oats to a food processor and pulse until they are finely ground into a coarse oat flour.

Step 3

Combine the oat flour, almond flour, and salt in a mixing bowl.

Step 4

Melt the coconut oil in the microwave or on the stovetop until liquid but not hot.

Step 5

Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and cold water to the dry oat almond mixture.

Step 6

Mix until the dough comes together and holds its shape when pressed.

Step 7

Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie pan. Use your fingers to press it evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the pan.

Step 8

Prick the bottom of the crust several times with a fork to prevent bubbling during baking.

Step 9

Place the pie crust in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool completely before filling with your desired pie filling.
