Quick Gluten-Free Sugar-Free Blueberry Pie
Hi Everyone! I'm finally posting again.. thanks for hanging in there with me! My Mom picked tons of beautiful blueberries when she was visiting her sister in NC and I have been cooking with them! This is a quick recipe.. in retrospect, I should not have used such a big tart pan (10"). So, my picture is of this recipe stretched to a 10" pie pan, but I have written the recipe for an 8" pie pan. This could also be made in a square, for Blueberry Bars. This is my shortbread crust with a twist.
This can be made gluten and casein free by using coconut oil instead of butter.
According to this site, fresh blueberries have 16 effective carbs (ECC), and frozen has 14. I did these Effective Carb Counts for fresh blueberries.

Quick Gluten-Free Sugar-Free Blueberry Pie
serves 8, carbs per servingwith fresh blueberries = 8.8 ECC
shortbread crust:
1 1/2 cups almond flour, I used Honeyville
1/4 teaspoon NuNaturals Stevia powder (or 1/8 teaspoon Sweetleaf or other brand)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
6 Tablespoons organic butter, melted (or expeller-pressed coconut oil)
1/16 scant teaspoon cinnamon
Edges of crust slightly browned |
filling:
3 cups blueberries, frozen or fresh
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon NuNaturals Stevia or 1/8 teaspoon Sweetleaf or other brand
1/4 cup Erythritol
4 Tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
2 Tablespoons Arrowroot Starch
1 Tablespoon Coconut Flour
Mix well cinnamon, stevia, erythritol, butter, arrowroot, and coconut flour together. Add blueberries. If your blueberries are frozen or your mixture clumps, put in a saucepan over low heat and mix gently until it is liquid (except the blueberries) and mixed well. Pour into pie crust and return to oven for 10- 20 minutes or until set.
Serve warm with or without low carb ice cream.
This looks amazing! Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful pie. The crust looks perfect! When my bag of almond flour comes I've got to try it (or I might just use sunflower seeds). Have some berries to use it, and this looks like the perfect way to use 'em. Thanks for sharing, Rachel!
