Strawberry Pie with Oatmeal Cookie Crust for strawberry season!

This month’s Recipe Redux asked us to share a recipe for a healthier version of our favorite pie.  Truth be told, I’m not a pie person.  Pie crust just isn’t my thing! That’s why this pie caught my eye…pie filling in a crispy oatmeal cookie crust!  Yes please!

Not only is this pie vegan, it’s also gluten free!  Plus, it calls for almost 2 cups of oats, which provides heart healthy fiber…something you will not find in traditional pie crust made with heaps of butter and white flour!

My mother-in-law gave us a ton of freshly picked organic strawberries.  I’ve never had strawberry pie, so I thought I’d give it a whirl!
