Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Pour coconut oil into a bowl. Add egg and honey. While stirring continuously, add whole wheat flour, rolled oats, and salt. Transfer the mixture into a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Spread it evenly. Place in an oven preheated to 180°C and bake for about 10 minutes.
