- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

Processing Steps
- Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, chopped nuts, honey or maple syrup, and melted coconut oil. Mix until well combined.
- Press the crust: Press the mixture into a tart pan, evenly spreading it along the bottom and sides. Use the back of a spoon to press it down firmly.
- Bake the crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
- Prepare the filling: In a saucepan, combine the mixed berries, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Assemble the tart: Pour the berry filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly. Place the tart in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
- Serve and enjoy: Once the tart has set, remove it from the refrigerator and garnish with Greek yogurt and fresh mint leaves if desired. Slice and serve chilled.

- Customize the filling: Feel free to experiment with different combinations of berries or add a touch of citrus zest for extra flavor.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream: If you prefer a creamier texture, serve the tart with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
