  To prepare the crust, add the nuts to the processor bowl and pulse until finely chopped. Return one portion of the oat flour to the processor bowl and add the dates. Pulse until coarsely chopped, then process for 60 seconds, scraping down the side halfway through. With the processor on, slowly pour in the coconut oil through the feed chute and process for a few seconds then pulse several times to combine.
