Number Of Ingredients 6

2 Tbsp olive oil, light
2 Tbsp honey or maple syrup
1/4 c arrowroot starch
1/4 c amaranth flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 c ground nuts or seeds

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • 2. Mix oil, honey, then add arrowroot powder, flour and cinnamon. Mix in in ground nuts and seeds.
  • 3. Press the crust onto bottom and sides of lightly oiled pie pan, but not on upper flat rim of pan.
  • 4. For baked Pies, bake crust 3 to 5 minutes, then allow it to cool 5 to 10 minutes.
  • 5. Scoop Filling into crust and baked according to recipe.
  • 6. For No-Bake Pies, bake the crust 9 to 14 minutes or until firm. Cool.
  • 7. Scoop pie filling and chill. Sprinkle extra ground nuts on top of filling for a decorative effect for added flavor.
  • 8. Baker's Note: Amaranth Flour can be replaced with "buckwheat flour, millet, or rice flour". This will slightly change the flavor and color of the crust.
  • 9. Baker's Note 2: Arrowroot powder can be replaced with Cornstarch.
  • 10. Baker's Note 3: ground nuts and seeds, such as Almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, pumpkin, flaxseeds or any combination.
