(or what I am using to substitute for one)

Food Processor - a mini one works too.
2 cups roasted sunflower seeds or walnuts
1 cup dates (chop)
1/4 or less of coconut oil (or walnut oil since this is a no cook)
Take your crumb mixture and press into a pie pan or whatever dish your using and place in fridge or freezer to harden.
There ya go!
Here is an image ,from the kitchn.com, that shows that a roasted nut will be slightly darker than a raw nut /seed.
Notes:
- If your using a large food processor probably not necessary to chop dates but it does help check for pits if you cut dates in half.
- To roast raw seeds/nuts just place them on a cookie sheet. Place them in a 350 oven and bake 5 minutes and stir (this brings the outer seeds/nuts to the center). The outer edges normally cook quicker. Continue to bake till roasted checking every few minutes. I do not have a time because all ovens are different, just keep a watch and do not let them burn. Each batch will roast differently depending on the size and amount of oil in the seeds/nuts. Typically it takes less than 15 minutes - average 8-12 minutes. Option : you can drizzle with oil and spices and stir before roasting. This recipe is for dry roasting (no oil).
- You can add 1/4 cup cocoa to make a chocolate crust. Add some coconut ....experiment with some spices.
