Ingredients You Need
You only need 4 simple ingredients for this recipe! Once you have the ingredients on hand, you can pull this easy pie crust together in less than 20 minutes.
- Chickpea flour: This can be found in any health food store or supermarket. It is super versatile and also offers protein (something that conventional doughs do not usually provide.)
- Brown rice flour: This can be found in any health food store or supermarket. It will give the dough a crunchy texture while also providing fiber.
- Extra-virgin olive oil: The oil is necessary to give it a soft texture to make it pliable for rolling.
- Sea salt
Please note that all gluten-free flours behave differently. Some absorb more liquid, others less. Therefore, this recipe cannot be made with other types of gluten free flour as the results will vary significantly. If you do not want to use brown rice flour or chickpea flour, then I recommend finding another pie crust recipe that uses the flours you have on hand to ensure the best results.
Optional Sweet Crust: If you want to make a sweet pie, simply add 1 to 2 tablespoon of coconut sugar, maple syrup or another sweetener to the crust.
Make and Shape Gluten Free Vegan Pie Crust
This delicious vegan pie crust comes together easily with a few quick steps. The full recipe with measurements and instructions are provided in the recipe card below.
- Make the dough: In a large bowl, mix together the brown rice flour, chickpea flour and salt. Make a hole in the center of the dry ingredients and add the oil and water. Use a spoon to mix everything together and then finish kneading with your hands to form a dough.

- Shape the dough: Place the dough onto the center of a piece of parchment paper large enough to fit in your mold or pie pan. Add another piece of parchment paper on top and use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to the edges of the paper. Remove the top piece of parchment paper and lift the remaining piece of parchment paper with the dough on it and place it in the pan. Tuck the edges of the dough in place.


- Bake the crust: Preheat the oven to 425°F and bake for 10 minutes, until it browns slightly.

Once the crust is cool, use it in your favorite savory recipes. It's perfect for savory pies like tomato, kale, sweet potato, vegan pot pies or quiche.
Frequently Asked Questions
