Tart berries with oat flour

Hello to all my dear friends and Happy Sunday!

Today a recipe sweet but light.

A delicious tart with oat flour.

Lately I’m giving it to other flours, given that in recent times come disquisitions and information against the flour type 00 considered harmful and much more that I am not here to enumerate.

I think a little bit of everything does not hurt, much less the 00 flour, maybe some used more recently and mixed with the other.

I have to say that surely a snack industry is more harmful to a homemade cake with flour 00.

However, it is also good to use and switch between different flours less refined, as this oatmeal that has left the tart tastes really nice.

The only catch, if I do precisina, is that, being very rich in gluten, the tart is more crumbled, but it is worth to taste it because it’s really good.

The pastry is made with oil, and I used the brown sugar.
