Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 0.5 cup almonds (or any preferred nut)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan or tart tin.

Step 2

In a food processor, pulse the rolled oats and almonds until they form a coarse, crumbly texture. Do not overprocess; a bit of texture is ideal.

Step 3

Transfer the oat and nut mixture to a mixing bowl and stir in the brown sugar, salt, and melted butter until the mixture is evenly combined.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and mix everything thoroughly until the mixture holds together when pressed between your fingers.

Step 5

Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of the prepared pie pan or tart tin, forming the crust shape.

Step 6

Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Step 7

Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool completely before filling with your desired pie or tart filling.
