Makes 2 small tarts
This tastes much more indulgent than it actually is. Whether you choose the brown rice protein or buckwheat flour will determine whether your pie is higher or lower in protein and carbohydrates (the buckwheat being higher in carbs) but beyond that both are very nutritious, and both gluten free too (choose gluten-free oat bran if you have an actual intolerance).
