Oat Flour Pie Crust Recipes

OAT FLOUR PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Add the oat flour, salt and coconut oil to a large mixing bowl.
• Add in the water and knead.
• If your dough is still too crumbly, add more water, 1 tbsp. at a time, kneading well between each addition of water.
• When done, the dough will be somewhat smooth and soft to the touch but have a firm density.
• Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper.
• Add another piece of parchment over the dough and roll flat.
• Remove the top layer of parchment, and turn the dough over into your pie pan. Then carefully peel off the second piece of parchment.
• Press the dough into the pie pan, working it with your fingers until you have nice, even coverage over your pie pan.
• Use raw for pre-baked or no-bake pies, or bake in the oven at 350 F. for about 15 minutes just to get a light toast, for pies you'll bake. Do not over-bake this if you'll be baking it again with filling.

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.

WHOLE WHEAT PIE CRUST WITH OATS

Steps:

• Place oats in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until finely ground.
• Transfer ground oats to a medium bowl; stir in flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons water. Blend with a fork until mixture holds together, adding up to 1 tablespoon more water if necessary.
• With minimal shaping, form dough into a ball and place on a lightly floured sheet of waxed paper. Place another sheet of waxed paper on top and roll dough into a 1/8-inch thick circle large enough to fit a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. (This dough breaks more easily than a white flour dough; the wax paper helps with that.)
• Remove top sheet of waxed paper and invert dough into the pie plate. Slowly peel away remaining sheet of waxed paper and trim any excess crust. Turn dough edge under and crimp as desired.
• Crust is ready to fill. See notes if your recipe requires a pre-baked crust.

• 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.
