I am so. so. so. so proud of myself. I'm a mad scientist in the kitchen.
Sometimes it's disastrous, but sometimes it's exquisite! This recipe is one of the latter, thank goodness!
This dish was developed out of a desire to use things in my fridge and conveniently covers my love for things that taste like dessert but can be eaten for breakfast, guilt-free AND gluten-free (I'm 99.9999% positive on this- if any of these ingredients look suspicious, let me know in the comments). Get ready.
Greek Yogurt Granola Pie
CRUST
1 cup quick oats (not intentional- I thought they were regular oats but I guess I bought the wrong kind)
1/4 cup crushed raw almonds (food processor works well)
1/4 cup unsweetened dried coconut
2 tbsp ground flax seeds
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp Sun Crystals (equivalent to 2 tsp sugar)
sprinkle cardamom
1/4 c applesauce
1 tsp coconut oil
Preheat oven to 300F. Mix dry ingredients. Add applesauce and coconut oil.
Roll mixture into a ball and place in a lightly greased pie dish. Flatten, raising edges slightly.
Bake for 10 minutes.
