• Add oatmeal, 1 tbsp of honey, and melted butter to your food processor. Blend until the oats are chopped and a dough begins to form. Pour the crust mixture into the oiled pan and press firmly into the bottom of the pan. The bottom of a glass works well to pack the crust in.
• Wash and dry your food processor, then add cottage cheese Greek yogurt, eggs, 3 tbsp of honey, rice flour, and vanilla extract. Blend the filling for 5 minutes until it is smooth. It will be slightly watery.
• Pour your filling over the crust, and cover your pan tightly with aluminum foil. Carefully lower into your pot. Close and lock the lid and turn the pressure release arm to sealing. Select Pressure cook (high) and set the cook time for 35 minutes.
