Healthy Blueberry Pie
This healthy blueberry pie is a delicious, guilt-free dessert option that celebrates the natural flavors of fresh blueberries and whole-grain oat flour while minimizing added sugars and unhealthy fats. It's a perfect choice for those looking for a lighter, wholesome dessert option.
Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 2 cups oat flour
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 egg
- ½ cup coconut oil
For the Filling:
- 5 and ½ cups blueberries
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, coconut sugar, and salt. Pour the melted coconut oil and beaten egg into the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture comes together and forms a dough.
- Press the dough into a 9-inch pie dish, making sure it covers the bottom and sides evenly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries and lemon juice. Toss to coat the blueberries with the lemon juice. In a separate bowl, mix together the coconut sugar and cornstarch. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the blueberries and gently stir to coat the berries evenly.
- Pour the blueberry filling into the prepared oat flour crust. If you'd like, you can use any remaining oat flour dough to create a lattice or decorative topping for your pie.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, and the filling is bubbling.
- Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least an hour before serving. Slice and serve your healthy blueberry pie. Enjoy!
