Graham Cracker Pie Crust {grain-free}

Update on 12/5/2024: I cut the amount of sweetener in half because I found it way too sweet. If you like it really sweet, use up to ¼ cup of honey or maple syrup.

I recommend putting a cut circle of parchment paper on the bottom of the pie pan before pressing in the crust to make it easier to slice and remove the baked pie pieces.

When you're ready to bake the pie, before filling it brush the edge of the crust with coconut cream or yogurt, or other cream or milk.

You can use unsalted butter or cacao butter as a substitute for coconut oil. I use refined coconut oil that is filtered so the flavor of coconut is not detectable.

I prefer to store the pie crust in the freezer or refrigerator until I'm ready to fill and bake it. This also helps prevent burning and soggy crusts.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and blend well with a fork. Let the batter sit for a moment to allow the coconut flour to aborb all the liquid.
