How To Make Vegan Strawberry Pie
This vegan fruit pie is simple to make. Follow the steps below to make the crust and filling.
Make The Pie Crust
Process the walnuts in a food processor until they are finely chopped.
To the walnuts, add the oat flour, salt, oil, and maple syrup and process until well combined. Then add the whole oats and process again until they're roughly chopped.
Gently spread the dough to fill out the oiled pie dish.
Bake at 350° for 10-15 min, or until the edge begins to darken. Set aside to cool.

Prepare the filling
- Dissolve 2 full Tablespoons of cornstarch in ¼ cup cold water and set aside.
- Add 4-6 strawberries to your food processor and process until pureed. Then add the strawberry puree, a ½ cup of apple juice, and 3 Tablespoons of turbinado sugar to a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until simmering. Pour in the cornstarch mixture and whisk until it becomes a gel consistency. Set aside to cool.
- Hull and chop your strawberries. Place the strawberries in a large bowl and fold in the gel.
- Add the strawberry filling to your pie crust and spread out evenly.
- Place the pie in the fridge to set for at least 45 min.
To Serve
Just before serving line the pie with fresh banana slices. Serve as is, with a scoop of vegan ice cream, or top with vegan whipped cream.

Recipe
Vegan Strawberry Pie (gluten-free)
Ingredients
Walnut Oat Crust
- ¾ cup walnuts
- 1 cup oat flour, see notes
- ¼ teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
- ¼ cup refined coconut oil, melted
- 3 Tablespoons maple syrup
- ¾ cup rolled oats
Pie Filling
- 2 ½ pounds fresh strawberries, greens removed and chopped
- ¼ cup cold water
- 2 full Tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ cup apple juice
- ¼ cup strawberry puree, see notes
- 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
Walnut Oat Crust
- Preheat your oven to 350° and oil your pie dish.
- Measure out the walnuts and add them to a food processor. Pulse until the walnuts are roughly chopped.
- Add in the oat flour, salt, oil, rolled oats, and maple syrup. Pulse a few times until just combined.
- Spoon the crust into your pie dish. Gently spread and shape it with your fingers to fill out the dish. Be sure not to press too hard or it can cause the crust to stick.
- Bake at 350°F for 10-15 min or until the edges of the crust begin to darken.
Pie Filling
- In a small bowl, mix the cold water and cornstarch until dissolved. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the puréed strawberries, apple juice, and sugar. Once simmering, lower the heat and add in the cornstarch mix. Whisk until the filling reaches a thick glaze consistency. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Place the prepared strawberries in a large bowl. (Cut smaller strawberries in half and larger berries in thirds)
- Once the filling has cooled to the touch (about 15 minutes), gently fold it into the bowl of strawberries.
- Evenly spread the strawberry filling into the pie crust.
- Let the pie set in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.

Hi
Thanks for this incredible recipe
I wanna know for how long I can keep it in the fridge ?
Marlena Luna
It usually lasts about 3 days in the fridge, depending on how fresh the strawberries are.
joe
Press the crust ingredients on parchment paper in pan. No risk of sticking there
Marlena Luna
Great tip!
Susan MorrillQueenan
I would love to try this recipe but my husband is allergic to walnuts. Do you think the crust recipe would work with cashews, or almonds ?
Marlena Luna
Yes, almonds would be best. Or, you can try a combination of almonds and cashews. Enjoy!

Can I make the filling and keep in the fridge to assemble the pie afterwards? I am taking it to my sister in law’s house for Christmas and wanting to assemble there..
Marlena Luna
The filling stiffens up in the fridge so I don’t think it would easily transfer to the crust.
leonor
I wanted to use the strawberries on top of a creme pie ... can I half the strawberry filling recipe part (in other words cut the measurements in half to make half the portion of strawberries filling) .. you think that might work? I don't want to make too much strawberries.
Where you get your protein
Yes, it should work just fine. Enjoy, Leonor!
Shennae
Would coconut sugar work instead of turbinado? I don't think we have it in australia.
Where you get your protein!
Yes, coconut sugar will work as a replacement. Enjoy, Shennae!! :)
Serena
