Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups walnuts
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts
  • 1/4 cup oats
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast

Instructions

  1. To make the crust, place the walnuts and pinenuts in a food processor and pulse for about 10 seconds. Add remaining crust ingredients and pulse to combine.

  2. Press the crust into a 9 inch tart pan or two 6 inch tart pans and bake at 250 degrees for about 1 hour or until firm to the touch. Remove from oven and cool completely.
