As for the crust, it can’t be simpler to make. In your food processor, pulse ground oats, coconut oil, some sort of sweetener, and a little water. Decorate with chopped walnuts or pecans on top and then bake. Let it cool off in the fridge for a few hours, or just in case you can resist the temptation, overnight.

3. Easy Vegan Plum Crumble Pie

How about a vegan, flourless, and sugar-free plum pie dessert? If the idea made your mouth water, then roll up your sleeves and take out the baking pan. What you need for the crust is oats, dates, coconut oil, and walnuts.

As for the filling, just sauté some fresh plums in coconut oil and you are ready to assemble the plum crumble pie. Form the crust on the bottom of a baking tray. Then spread the filling evenly and form the crumbles on top. Bake until golden brown and then serve with whipped coconut cream.
