OAT ALMOND PIE CRUST

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, combine the oats and almonds and grind to a coarse powder.
• Transfer to a large bowl.
• Add the flour and mix well.
• Drizzle on the oil and incorporate it with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
• Sprinkle in enough of the water (mixing it lightly with a fork) to moisten all the flour and make a dough that you can form into a ball.
• Flatten the dough into a circle about 1/2-inch thick On a lightly floured board or a sheet of waxed paper, roll the dough into a thin (about 1/8 inch) circle about 11 inches diameter.
• Line a 9-inch pie pan with the dough and trim the edges to leave a 1/2-inch overhang all around.
• Use the overhang to form a fluted edge.
• Place the crust in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.
• Fill the shell and bake it according to the directions of your specific recipe.
• *To bake the crust without a filling; Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• Line the prepared pie crust with aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 8 minutes.
• Remove it from the oven and discard the foil.
• Bake for 7 minutes.
• Let the crust cool before filling.

FLAKY LOW CARB PIE CRUST RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F and place the rack in the middle position. Place a 9- inch pyrex pie plate in the freezer. Mix egg white with water.
• Measure the dry ingredients into the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the cubed cold butter and pulse until the butter is pea-sized. Drizzle the egg white around the bowl of the crust ingredients and pulse until the dough comes together.
• Remove the dough to a piece of cling film and shape into a disc (see pictures), wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or for several days.
• Place a new piece of cling film on the counter. Unwrap the pie crust dough and place it on the center. Place another piece of cling film on top of the dough. With a rolling pin, and starting at the center, roll the dough away from yourself. Give the dough a quarter turn and roll away from your self again. (If the cold dough crumbles a bit, don't worry, the rolling will warm it up and it will press back together.) Do this several times, flipping the whole pie crust over and proceeding with the other side until you have a 12 inch round disc. Place the crust in the freezer for 3-5 minutes or the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• Remove the pie plate from the freezer and place on your work surface. Remove the rolled crust from the freezer or refrigerator and peel-off the top piece of cling film. If the dough is stiff as a board, let it sit for a minute on the work surface.
• Invert the dough on top of the pie plate and remove the remaining cling film. The dough should begin to slowly slump into the plate. Help the process along by gently lifting the edge of the crust with one hand and very gently pressing it into the plate with the other. Patch any tears.
• Remove excess pie crust by cutting it away with a small sharp knife. Gather the excess crumbs and distribute them along the top edge of the pie plate, taking the time to build a rim. Flute the edge and dock the dough (poke holes all over with a fork). If the dough becomes too soft to work with, pop it into the freezer for a few minutes.
• Place the dough onto the middle of the rack and bake for 15 minutes or until it's a nice golden brown. Let cool completely before filling. If not using right away, wrap tightly in cling film and keep in the fridge until ready to use. Will also freeze. Thaw in the refrigerator to prevent condensation and sogging.
• NOTE: If you are baking a filling in the pie crust, like a quiche, DO NOT dock the dough. Place it into the freezer to become firm before filling and baking. The sesame flour version is a tad more delicate than the Oat Fiber version.
• This crust serves 8 at 1.75 NET CARBS per serving.

EASY OAT FLOUR PIE CRUST RECIPE (VEGAN + GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• Measure out all ingredients. Lightly grease or oil a 9″ pie dish (about 1″ deep) and set aside.
• In a food processor, blitz the oat flour, arrowroot, and sea salt together to combine. Then add in the cold cubed vegan butter, and pulse again until you reach a sand texture. Then begin to process the mixture while simultaneously adding in the maple syrup 1 tbsp at a time, followed by the water, 1 tbsp at a time until you reach a consistent dough.
• dough: Wrap the dough into the shape of a flat disk in either parchment paper or plastic wrap, and store in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• Lightly flour a clean surface or pie mat with oat flour, as well as your rolling pin. Roll out the pie dough to be about 12″ in diameter for a 9″ pie. Then carefully transfer the pie dough using your rolling pin into your pie dish. Gently lift the sides of the dough to scoot the pie dough down so that it doesn't stretch and break.
• Trim any overhanging edges of the dough with kitchen scissors. You can use the scraps of the pie dough for pie crust decorations. Shape the edges with your hands or using a fork, then place the crust into the fridge to chill while you preheat the oven to 400F.
• Follow the instructions of your recipe to make the oat flour pie crust either for as a par-baked pie crust, completely baked pie crust, or unbaked pie crust, like with this vegan pumpkin pie.
