Lets make the best oatmeal pie crust recipe ever using no butter or oil. The flavor for this pie crust comes from pecans, or any nuts you'd like to use.
1/3cupnut butter, pecan is my favoritesee notes for recipe
1/4tsp.salt
8-10Tbsp.water
Instructions
First, add oats to a blender and grind them into a flour. Add oat flour to a mixing bowl.
Next, in a mini food processor or blender grind the pecans and water until a paste forms.
Add 1/3 cup pecan butter to the mixing bowl with the salt, and 8 Tbsp. water.
You might need more water if the pie dough feels too dry. 10 Tbsp. total works well for me.
Use your hand or spatula to mix the ingredients together.
Add a piece of parchment paper to a pie dish, or rub coconut oil around the dish, then place the pie dough in the dish.
Use your hands to form the dough around the pie dish. If the dough feels too sticky, place a piece of parchment paper over the top to keep the dough from sticking to your hands.
Once the pie dough is spread evenly, you can fill it with your desired pie filling and bake according to the pie filling directions.
***If you're plan is to fill the crust with a chilled pudding or custard, then bake the pie crust in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly toasted. Cool, and you're ready to fill.
Notes
***Add 1 cup pecan pieces to a mini food processor, or blender. Add 4 Tbsp. water and blend. Add more water if needed to achieve a nut butter consistency. Scrape the sides often, so you get a smooth butter. (whole process takes about 3-4 minutes)
