The best recipe for Strawberry Pie with Oatmeal Cookie Crust

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!
