One of our community members, Monica Corrado of Simply Being Well, just shared with me that her 11-year-old son, Bodhi, created a pie without her being involved in any way! I wanted to share his recipe with the rest of you! We encourage you to teach your children how to cook, and bake. Read my review of the Nourishing Traditions Cookbook for Children. Bodhi photographed his finished pie below:

1. Purchase organic sprouted oat flour, and then proceed with recipe as written.
2. Soak regular organic oat flour in plain, whole milk, organic yogurt overnight. For this recipe, use 1/2 cup of yogurt and mix into the oat flour well. Cover the bowl with a plate and leave on the counter for 12-24 hours. Then proceed with the recipe.]
