One of my favorite Twitter posters, Black Seed Cuisine, redid the pie crust for the Pillsbury prize winning Honey and Oat Granola Pie. Now, this is a healthy, delicious pie that anyone can make. I would like to thank Black Seed Cuisine for sharing this recipe with us on Twitter and highly suggest you follow them to find out more about black cumin seeds.

- 1 cup of flour
- 1/2 cup of cold butter, cut into chunks
- 1/4 cup of ice cold water
- dash of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground black seeds (nigella, black cumin, seeds)
- Pie Ingredients:
- 1 stick butter melted
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup corn syrup
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla,
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 4 Oat and Honey granola bars, crushed (3/4 cup)
- ¼ cup oatmeal
- ½ cup walnuts, chopped
- ¼ cup choc chips
- 1 teaspoon of black cumin seeds, ground
Instructions
- In a food processor place the cold butter, salt and flour. Pulse slowly until you get a cornmeal like texture.
- Slowly add in the cold water.
- The flour will form a ball. Remove from the food processor and place in a plastic bag and flatten.
- Leave in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- When ready to use, remove the pie dough from the refrigerator and allow to set on the counter for 15 min.
- Preheat your oven to a hot 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl add in the above ingredients and pour into the pie crust. Cook the pie in the oven for 40 to 50 minutes.
- 15 minutes before the pie is done, cover the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil to avoid the edges getting too brown.
- Allow the pie to cool for ½ hour before cutting.
