INGREDIENTS
FOR OATMEAL CRUST
1 cup oat flour (ground oats)
2 tbsp Sugar
pinch of salt
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup cold butter
FOR BLUEBERRY TART FILLING
4 cups frozen blueberry
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 spoon cinnamon powder
pinch of nutmeg
lemon zest (optional)
DIRECTIONS
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine all the ingredients for the oatmeal crust and work in cold butter with fingers. The crust will be crumbly. Line a buttered ramekin/pie plate with the crust and press it down with fingers or the bottom of a glass to even it out. Refrigerate the crust for 15 minutes to set the butter and prevent crust from burning too quickly in the oven.
Step 2
Combine the blueberry filling ingredients mix it well. Then, pile it up on top of the cold crust like a big heap, until you can balance no more on it. The more filling the better. Place the ramekin on a tray as the filling sometimes spills over the edges and inside the oven. Bake it at 400 degrees F for 40-45 mins until the crust is gold brown and sides for the filling are semi-set.
