Coconut Oil Pie Crust

Feb.posted by Paula 31 Comments

Jump to Recipe

I used coconut oil to make a flaky and tender Coconut Oil Pie Crust.
Using a food processor, makes this crust easy.
Using the coconut oil makes it a healthier alternative than butter.
Coconut Oil Pie Crust

Lately, I’ve been trying to make small changes in our diet. Small enough that the boys don’t notice, but enough to make a difference in our health. It’s a slippery slope!

Small changes

I hope small changes will equal big results!

So I’ve written about how much I love to run many times. There’s a little something that I’ve never told you. I hate lifting weights.

Hate it.

I’m not strong and never have been. I can train and lift and gain a little strength, but not much. Isn’t it funny – funny strange, not funny haha – that we like to do what we’re good at?! I’m good at running, well, I’m not fast, but I do have good endurance. I like running. I’m not strong. I can’t lift as much as my workout partner and I don’t like lifting weights. However, I’m turning over a new leaf, because I know that as I age I need to workout with weights. As much as I don’t like that my partner is stronger and better at lifting weights, instead of quitting, this time I’m looking at it as a challenge, a competition, something to work toward.

I’ve never had a workout partner I hate running with someone else, but I think I need to get out of my comfort zone with weight lifting. My goal for the next month is to

  1. Change my attitude about lifting weights. No more saying “I hate it.” I’m going to repeat ‘I like lifting weights.” until I believe that I do!
  2. Work out with a partner to keep motivated.

What about you? Is there a workout that you don’t like? Is there a workout that you love? How do you stay motivated?

Coconut Oil Pie Crust

Coconut Oil Pie Crust

Using coconut oil is a healthier alternative than butter for a pie crust. The result will be a light, flaky, crispy and tender crust. I use an all-natural, pure coconut oil with zero transfats per serving. Coconut oil needs to be refrigerated before trying to dice it. It's break and shatter, do the best you can to get it in uniform pieces.

    I’m glad to know that coconut oil makes a good pie crust. I pinned another recipe for coconut oil crust. They suggested to measure the oil in a liquid state, then refridgerate until hard. Then use a box grater to get the uniform pieces needed to mix in with the flour and salt. ‘Would be good to try this too.

    I have a big jar of coconut oil that I haven’t opened yet, but know it is so popular that I had to include your recipe in my unique pie crust roundup. Hope it sends a bunch of traffic your way!

    Paula, I really love lifting weights and have to force myself to go running. I still make it out at least every Sunday morning (when there is less smog) and actually enjoy it once I’m out the door and jogging to my favorite tunes. If I could afford it and had a babysitter , I’d be pumping iron every day. I’ll have to try this pie crust recipe. I’m not a big crust fan and have a couple of recipes I tend to use often, but why not make it healthier, right?

      I’m really trying to think more positively about weights, but it’s so difficult to! I’m also trying to feed my family better, that’s a epic battle!

    Wow!! This crust is the best idea I’ve heard in a long time. I used coconut last night to make an almond meal tart crust but never thought that you could use in a regular pie crust!! Love it and I’m pinning right away to try.
    Ps: I hate weights too!

      I started using coconut oil last summer and have used it cakes and tried it in different things. I didn’t know how it would be in a traditional pie crust but I really like it, actually better.

    I have been doing a new workout since December called Flat Belly Yoga with Weights created by Kimberly Fowler for Prevention Magazine. I first saw the workout in the Sept. 2013 Prevention mag. I am a former runner and now walk due to two back fusion surgeries. My point: I started running years ago because I could do that alone, I didn’t have to coordinate with anyone else as I did to play tennis. I buddy is nice, but again long term it is coordinating with someone else’s schedule. I do the exercise 3-4 times a week not because I particularly like it, but because it makes a difference in my strength, balance and pain. I have hurt myself in the past doing wrights because I tried to lift too much too many times to make it happen quicker. With this program you only use 3 lb weights and only do 5 reps each but the yoga puts you into the pose before you lift and you get double the benefit. You might want to check it out. prevention.com/fitness/yoga/flat-belly-yoga-workout-over-40 this like does not show the weights but it is the moves.

        I am HONESTLY SHOCKED THAT NOBODY ELSE HAS ASKED THIS QUESTION HERE in the COMMENTS SECTION yet: Can you freeze some of those pie shells after you make them? And if so, how long do they hold for in the freezer? And what if the proper way to store them in n the freezer (if they are “freezable” 😂 LOL😂)…? Thank you! Greatly appreciate any tips you may have in this regard! 👍🙌🤝✌️🙏

          Yes, you can freeze them. I buy the disposable tins and press them in it, cover in plastic wrap then in aluminum foil and freeze.

    I really like yoga but am not a fan of lifting weights either. Enlisting a workout partner sounds like a great way of staying motivated Paula 🙂 And, this pie crust looks gorgeous! What a genius idea to use coconut oil instead to make it healthier – I love it!
