Original RECIPE: Sugarless, Flourless Chocolate Walnut Pie

My sugarless, flourless version of Chocolate Walnut pie won the dessert category at the multi-event local potluck. Here's the recipe:

Filling:
1 1/2 cups agave syrup
Not much left! Picture by DNS
3 squares unsweetened baking chocolate
3 tbs butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups walnut pieces
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder

Crust: 
1 1/3 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup almond meal
1/2 cup oat bran
4 tbs melted butter
2 tbs canola oil
1 egg

Melt chocolate and butter in a saucepan and let cool for a few minutes. Mix all other filling ingredients in a big mixing bowl, then add the chocolate mixture and stir in vigorously. Mix all the crust ingredients together, then press the crust mixture into a crust shape around the inside of a pie tin until the whole inside is covered. Add the filling mixture. Bake at 325 degrees for 50 minutes, with a convection setting. Without convection, bake at a slightly higher temperature for a little longer--test it to see if done. Let cool, once baked.
