I use this crust to make a pumpkin pecan cheesecake and it was wonderful.

Awesome crust...everyone loved it and a few asked for the recipe

Made this for Magic Cookie Bars best batch I ever made! I love the oatmeal crust and will never use graham crackers again!

I made this pie crust recipe because my son-in-law is gluten-free. I baked the crust for about 5 minutes and then added traditional pecan pie filling. I baked as I would for a normal pecan pie. It was delicious! The combination of oats and pecans was a winner. And it's super easy (and you don't have to buy expensive almond or coconut flour to make a gluten-free crust!) As I recall I left out the cinnamon and nutmeg because I wasn't sure how well they would work with the pecan filling.

Used this recipe for lemon bars I made as I wanted the crust for it to have more substance. Had to double the recipe for a 9x13 pan. I subbed the butter for vegetable shortening and added lemon zest from 2-3 lemons to the crust. I cooked it for more than 20 minutes not sure exactly how much longer but it turned out really good and added the texture I wanted.

Definitely needed to use a food processor, blender, or spice grinder to reduce the size of the oats. The flavor was good, but the "crust" did not hold together at all - not even on par with a crumble top crust. It was literally just seasoned oatmeal flakes on top and bottom of my pie filling. Don't get me wrong, I ate it and enjoyed it, but I would not have served it to guests.

I used this recipe for Magic Bars instead of a graham cracker crust. I would have loved it if it weren't for the cinnamon and nutmeg...it didn't go well for Magic Bars. I would definitely use the recipe as written for other fruit or cream pies.
