Pie Ingredients- Pumpkin seeds, desired amount
- Oats (rolled oats recommended), desired amount
- Roasted soybean flour (Seoritae powder), desired amount
- Honey or syrup, enough to bind
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your pumpkin seeds. Lightly toast them in a dry pan over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning, until they are fragrant and slightly golden. This toasting process really brings out their nutty flavor!
Step 2
Once toasted, spread the pumpkin seeds evenly on a baking sheet or tray and let them cool for a few minutes. Allowing them to cool prevents them from sticking together too much when you mix them later.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, roasted soybean flour (for an extra nutty and smooth texture), and honey or syrup. Add just enough sweetener to bind the ingredients together. You want the mixture to hold its shape when pressed, but not be too sticky.
Step 4
Mix everything thoroughly until well combined, forming a cohesive mixture. Press this mixture evenly onto your prepared baking tray, creating a flat layer. Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C (300°F) for about 10 minutes, or until lightly golden and set.
Step 5
Carefully remove the pie from the oven. Let it cool on the baking sheet for a bit before slicing. You’ll have a beautifully baked, golden-brown pumpkin seed pie ready to enjoy!
Step 6
The freshly baked pie offers a wonderfully toasty and nutty flavor from the roasted pumpkin seeds. The oats add a subtle sweetness and satisfying chew, complemented by the natural sweetness of the honey, enhancing the overall nutty profile.
Step 7
This pie is completely butter-free and flour-free, making it a fantastic vegan and healthier alternative. Given that oats are celebrated as one of the world’s top superfoods, this recipe is a brilliant way to incorporate both pumpkin seeds and oats into your diet, providing both delicious taste and excellent nutrition. Perfect as a healthy snack or dessert!
