52 Homesteading Skills in One Year – Project #2: Learning to make gluten free pie crust

If you have ever tried to make a gluten free pie crust recipe and failed, this post is for you. Seriously. You would have to try pretty hard to mess this one up. And best of all, once you have soaked and dried your nuts, it can be made in minutes. So when the craving hits, you can turn out gluten free pie in record time.

Now you may be wondering why this crust is gluten free? A few years ago, I was diagnosed with a horrible case of eczema. As a result, I could no longer consume wheat without suffering an itch attack.

But there is no way I can give up pie. No way. As a wannabe homesteader, pie making is one of those critical life skills you just have to master. What else are you going to do with all those homegrown fruits and berries?

So I whipped up this easy mix and you know what? I actually love this crust’s sweet nutty flavour more than the standard version. Give it a try and I think you’ll love it too.

Gluten Free Pie Crust Recipe

Ingredients
2 cups pecans
5 Medjool dates, pitted
1 tbsp butter or coconut oil, melted
1 tsp cinnamon

Step one:
Prepare your pecans by soaking them in water (make sure they are completely covered) with a tablespoon of salt overnight. Okay, okay, you don’t have to do this but if you are a health nut (pun intended) like me, you’ll know that nuts contain substances like phytic acid that interfere with the body’s ability to absorb nutrients. Soaking makes them both easier to digest and more nutritious.

In the morning drain and rinse the pecans. Spread the nuts onto a baking pan and roast for several hours at 170 F degrees until oh so crispy and delicious. Now you may be tempted to just use the nuts from the bag. Don’t. Roasting is what really makes this crust.

Step two:
Once the nuts are good and dry, get out the blender and mix them with the dates and cinnamon to make a sticky dough.

Step three:
Melt the butter or coconut oil and add to the mixture. Stir well.

Step four:
Spread the batter into your pie plate and bake at 350 F for 20 minutes.

Voila!

PS. You can pair this gluten free pie crust recipe with my favourite chocolate raspberry pie.
