Ingredients:
For the crust: – 2 cups oats – 1 cup dates – 2 flaxseeds (to make 1 flaxseed mix 1 tbsp of ground flaxseeds with 3 tbsp water and keep in the fridge for 15 minutes) For the filling: – 200 gm strawberries – 200 gm rhubarb – 1/2 cup sweetener (we used coconut sugar)
Method:
Step 1. If you are using oats make oat flour – just process the oats in a food processor into fine powder.
Step 2. Make a smooth paste from dates: process them in a food processor together with several spoons of water. Dates paste should have a consistency of a thick, sticky puree.
Step 3. Mix all the crust ingredients and knead them into dough. Put aside until the filling is ready.
Step 4. Prepare the filling. Cur rhubarb into small pieces and heat it in a deep sauce pan. Add a sweetener and mix well. If it is too sticky, you can add a bit of water.
Step 5. Add chopped strawberries and cook together for about 5 minutes. You can make any consistency you like – we prefer to have it with whole chunks of berries.
Step 6. Roll the dough in a pie mould or fit into small cupcake moulds. Put the filling inside and cover with dough crumbles on top .
Step 7. Bake at 180C for 20 minutes. Your delicious and healthy pie is ready, you can share it with your loved ones!
