Val,
This is such an old recipe, so I really didn’t know much about gluten-free…but I would hope that folks who need to be gluten-free would know to simply use the right oats. In our now-low-gluten household, my gluten-sensitive DH has no problem with regular oats (thank goodness).

Sounds yummy – but OUCH big mistake in the title. These are NOT GLUTEN FREE unless you specify using GF oats, which can still be a problem for those extra sensitive to gluten.

Rebecca,
Yes, bake it first anyway, I would think. It shouldn’t really get “crispy” or anything… Katie

Hi Katie,

I love this recipe but wanted to check before I proceed – I bake just the crust by itself even if I’m going to use a filling that needs baking? I want to make a pumpkin pie but wasn’t sure if I should fill the crust before baking – I would like the crust to be on the softer side when it’s done.

Torey,
I wish I had “developed” it, but really it’s right from the King Arthur cookbook (cited). They know their stuff and rarely need tweaks! Glad it’s helpful for you, though. Katie

Such a great idea for making a gluten free crust (provided you have gf oats). I’ve been wondering what decent subsitution we could use for graham cracker crusts (and couldn’t come up with any, so just didn’t make anything that called for a graham crust). Yay for a yummy gf subsitution. Thanks so much for taking the time to develop this!

K,
That’s great to know about the substitutions working! Katie

Hi Katie!
I was looking for an alternative and this worked ~ Thanks!

I used sucanat instead of regular brown sugar and sunflower seeds instead of walnuts because that’s what I had lying around. It tasted great!

I’m still waiting for that frozen peanut butter pie recipe.

I wish I had found this recipe yesterday! My husband asked for a cheesecake for his birthday. The recipe I have is naturally gluten free except for the crust. I just made it without, because I didn’t have time to try and figure out a substitute. Next time I’ll try your idea. We buy certified gluten free oats, so it should be safe. Thanks so much for sharing.
