The oat flour tart will win you over with its lightness and delicate flavor. Oat flour gives it a soft, crumbly texture. To make this tart I used the rice shortcrust pastry with oil and filled it with strawberry jam, but any jam is suitable. This recipe is also perfect for those intolerant to lactose and gluten if you use flour certified gluten-free.

Let it rest in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before using.
Roll out the dough into a tart pan (about 9 inches), leaving 1/4 of the dough aside.
Pour the jam and spread it well with a spoon.
