Paradise Pie

For the crust

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a food processor add oats and process until coarse sand-like mixture forms. Add coffee. Pulse once. Pour in melted butter and oil to mixture. Pulse for 2-3 seconds to distribute evenly.

Pour mixture from food processor into a baking pan. Using your fingers or flat end of a measuring cup, press the mixture to the bottom of the pan to form crust.

Add the dark chocolate chips on top of the crust, ensuring that the crust is fully covered. Set aside.

For the dough layer

In a mixing bowl gently mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sugar together.

Add the melted coconut oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk well. Scrape sides of the bowl. Add in the egg and whisk again until combined. Then, add coconut flakes. Whisk until combined.

Roll the dough and flatten to form a layer that you can place on top of the chocolate chips. Pour the walnuts on top and gently press into the dough layer with your hands.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until dough is lightly browned & a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Allow to cool for 10 minutes in order to set. (If serving later, microwave a slice for 10-15 seconds to heat up slightly.)

Optional (but recommended): Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream before serving!
