Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Oat flour
- 0.25 cups Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix oat flour, melted coconut oil, and honey until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to press it firmly.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, coconut milk, maple syrup, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the lemon filling into the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake the pie for 20 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to fully set.
Slice and serve chilled. For garnish, you can add lemon slices or a sprinkle of extra lemon zest on top.
