The first time I made this…

It was right after a trip to the farmers market — I had a giant basket of fresh blueberries, and the kids were begging for pie. But honestly? I didn’t want the sugar crash or store-bought crust.

So I tried a version that used clean ingredients: less sugar, a homemade crust with almond and oat flour, and a little lemon to bring out the blueberry magic.

And you guys… it worked.
This pie is everything: flaky crust, juicy filling, just the right balance of sweet and tart. Best of all, it’s made with real food that still tastes like dessert. It’s the kind of pie that feels special but still simple enough for a summer night on the porch. 💙🥧

💡 Sarah’s Tips

• No oat flour? Use more almond flour, but chill the crust well.

• Use frozen berries? No need to thaw — just add 1 extra tablespoon starch.

• Love it sweeter? Add 1–2 tbsp coconut sugar to the filling.

• Top it off: Add coconut whipped cream or a scoop of banana nice cream!
