Blueberry Crust Tart with Oat Crust

ALL YOU NEED:

For the filling

• 1 pint (300 grams or about 2 cups) fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup to keep vegan)
• 2 teaspoons tapioca starch

For the crust

• 1 cup (4 oz) almond flour
• ¾ cup (2½ oz) old-fashioned oats
• ¼ cup (3 oz) honey (or maple syrup to keep vegan)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 5 tablespoons coconut oil, solid
• 2 tablespoons chopped pecans

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Add blueberries, honey or maple syrup, and tapioca starch to a medium bowl and toss until coated. Set the blueberries aside while you make the crust.
3. Add the almond flour, oats, honey or maple syrup, baking powder, and salt to a different bowl and whisk until combined. Add the coconut oil and use your fingers to work it in until coarse crumbs form and the mixture holds together when pressed.
4. Remove a heaping ½ cup of the crumbs for the topping and pour the remaining crumbs into the bottom of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough evenly into the pan. Pour the blueberries over the crust, making sure the juices stay behind in the bottom of the bowl.
5. Add the chopped pecans to the remaining crumble and sprinkle evenly over the top of the berries.
6. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is lightly brown. At around 20 minutes, tent the tart with foil to prevent it from getting too brown. Let cool completely before slicing into wedges and serving.

Note: I only used 1/2 tsp of salt. Also used a cast iron skillet instead of a tart pan or one of my cheesecake forms. I knew a 9-inch was going to be way to big. The cast iron worked perfectly.

For the topping I made homemade whipping cream. All you need is a little bit of heavy cream and a hand mixer! Blend it until it it firm like canned whip! No sugar added.
