30 g oats (choose gluten-free if needed)
90 g almonds, ground
90 g oats, ground to a flour (choose gf if needed)
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 banana, melted in the microwave and mashed
2 tablespoons coconut oil

Filling
3 tablespoons cherry jam (or any other jam)
Topping
100 g almonds, ground
40 g oats, ground to a flour (choose gf if needed)
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 banana, melted in the microwave and mashed
1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 tablespoons water (or more if needed)

Preparation

First make your crust by combining oats, oat flour and ground almonds in a bowl.
In a second bowl mix mashed banana, melted coconut oil and almond extract. Add this to the dry ingredients and mix using your hands until a dough has formed. If dough is too dry, add water by 1/2 tbs ful until dough is pliable.
Press the crust into a 8 in loose bottom pie tin. Press down, pushing out towards the edge until evenly distributed across the bottom. Push the dough up the sides, scraping a little from the base to fill in the edges if needed.
Now spread the jam evenly over the crust.
For the topping combine ground almonds, oat flour, baking powder and pumpkin pie spice/cinnamon. Then add in coconut oil, water, banana and almond extract. Mix with a spoon until a soft, droppable dough has formed. If you need more water, add it by 1/2 tbs ful until you reach the desired consistency.
Spread the topping over the jam carefully.
Bake in the preheated oven at 180\u00b0C/350\u00b0 F for 25 minutes or until lightly browned.
Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove carefully and cool completely on a wire rack.
Enjoy!
