How To Make Oat Flour Tart Crust

Here are the step-by-step instructions to make this recipe.

Step 1: Preheat the oven and whisk together the dry ingredients.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a bowl, whisk together oat flour, almond flour, shredded unsweetened coconut, and a pinch of salt.

Step 2: Add olive oil and sweetener.

Add maple syrup and olive oil to the dry mixture, stirring until well combined.

Step 3: Allow the flours to absorb liquid.

Allow the tart mixture to sit for a few minutes, allowing the flours to absorb the liquid.

Step 4: Press into tart pan.

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch tart pan.

Step 5: Bake the tart crust.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove from the oven. If the tart shell puffs up slightly, use the base of a cup or measuring cup to gently press it back down into the bottom and sides.

Allow the tart shell to cool before filling.

Expert Tips

• When pressing the oat mixture into the tart pan, use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to press it down firmly and evenly.
• Pre-bake (blind bake) the crust for about 10 minutes at 350°F (175°C) before adding your filling.
• After baking, let the tart crust cool completely before filling it.
