Oat 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.

• Combine flour, rolled oats and salt in mixing bowl.
• Slowly drizzle in oil, mixing with a fork until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
• Add ice water slowly until mixture begins to form a ball.
• Pat into 9 inch pie plate. Bake according to filling recipe.
• For baked pastry shell: Prick pastry with fork in several places. Bake at 400F 10 min until light golden brown.

OATMEAL PIE CRUST

• Combine oats, confectioners' sugar, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl; press into the prepared pie dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool completely.

OAT-NUT PIE CRUST

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• 2. Bake the almonds and walnuts or pecans on separate baking sheets until they are fragrant and toasted: about 8 minutes for pecans or walnuts, 10 minutes for almonds. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Raise the oven temperature to 375°F.
• 3. Grind the oats in a blender or food processor until they become a coarse meal. Empty into a large mixing bowl.
• 4. Grind the almonds and walnuts or pecans into a coarse meal and add to the oats, along with the flour and salt.
• 5. In a small bowl, whip together the oil or butter, maple syrup, vanilla and water. Add to the oat-nut mixture and mix well. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
• 6. With cold, wet hands, press the crust mixture into a well- oiled tart or pie pan. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until barely golden brown.
• 7. Set aside to cool. Then add pie filling and bake for additional 30 to 35 minutes.

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.
