Gluten-Free Millet Pie Crust

Here are two gluten-free vegan pie crust recipes using millet flour—one for a savory veggie pie and one for a banana cream pie. Each recipe includes the full instructions for the pie. Why Use Millet Flour? Millet flour is a nutritious, gluten-free alternative to wheat flour, offering a mild, slightly nutty flavor. It’s rich in fiber, protein, and essential minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, and iron, which support digestion, heart health, and energy metabolism. Millet also contains vitamins, and is particularly abundant in Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) and B2 (Niacin), and is also a very good source of other B vitamins, including B9, folic acid. Unlike over-refined flours, millet has a low glycemic index, making it a great choice for balanced blood sugar levels. Its light texture works well in both sweet and savory dishes, making it an excellent base for gluten-free baking.
