Ingredients
  • 1½ cups rolled oats
  • 100 grams ground almond flour
  • 2 tbsp dessicated coconut
  • 3 tbsps corn starch
  • ¾ tsp sea salt
  • ¾ tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 tbsps coconut oil or butter
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 2 cups fresh wild berries + ½ cup for after baking  (you can use any kind you like)
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice + freshly grated lemon lemon zest from ½ lemon
  • 2-3 tbsps fresh mint leaves, finely chopped.
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Combine the oat with almond flour, coconut, corn starch and sea salt in a bowl. Add the coconut oil and maple syrup. With your hands, work the dry ingredients towards the centre until a dough forms. Gather the dough into a ball, wrap in clingfilm, then chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Toss the berries with the maple syrup, lemon and mint in a medium size bowl and set aside for a while to help the flavors develop.
  3. Press the dough evenly into a 9 inch tart pan. Shape the dough flush with the edge of the pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and pre-bake for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and add 2 cups of the maple tossed berries. Bake for about 35 minutes or until the crust is golden and the berry filling is bubbly and juicy. Remove from the oven and add the rest of the berries on top. Serve as is or with a scoop of ice cream.
