METHOD
Crusty base:
1

Preheat the oven to 175°C.

2

Add oat flour, rice flour, salt, syrup, coconut oil and almond nut butter into a food processor and process into a crumbly dough.

3

In a non-stick pie tin 240x23mm; spread and press the dough evenly along the base and sides of the tin. Prick the base with a fork before a blind bake.

4

Line with baking paper and fill with ceramic beads, rice or dried beans. Bake for 7 minutes in the oven.

5

Remove baking paper and weights used for the blind baking and set aside.

Caramel pecan filling:
6

Place walnuts into a food processor and pulse until finely ground.

7

Add coconut butter to the pecan flour and blend until a paste is formed.

8

Add remaining ingredients, coconut sugar, maple syrup, vanilla paste and salt and pulse until combined.

9

Pour the caramel filling into the base prepared earlier and top with extra pecans and maple syrup if using. The maple syrup will crystalise and form a toffee like topping.
