Main ingredients of blueberry dessert

Blueberry – For the homemade blueberry pie filling, you will need 5 cups of frozen or ripe fresh blueberries. Thaw frozen blueberries and wipe off ice crystals before using.

Rolled oats – The streusel topping and healthy oatmeal pie crust both contain high-fiber rolled oats. Substitute with quick oats or certified gluten-free oats if desired. For best texture, avoid steel-cut oats or instant oatmeal.

flour – I like whole grain spelled flour because it makes lighter baked goods than denser whole wheat flour. Oat flour, white flour, low-carb almond flour, or all-purpose gluten-free flour also work well.

Sweetener – Use granular or liquid sweeteners in your fillings, such as unrefined coconut sugar, date sugar, pure maple syrup, honey, xylitol, monk fruit, or sugar-free stevia. Use granulated sugar or sugar-free alternatives in the crust and toppings.

cinnamon – Four teaspoons of ground cinnamon adds natural sweetness to the topping without any added sugar or calories.

Coconut oil (optional) – Melted coconut oil or butter is added to the crust and topped with crunchy toppings to provide a rich taste, and the amount of oil or butter used in traditional blueberry pies has been significantly reduced. If you want a low-fat or fat-free pie, you can replace some or all of the oil with applesauce, mashed banana, or Greek yogurt.

salt – Add a little salt to balance the sweetness of the fruit filling and improve the buttery quality of the crust and top.

Corn Starch – The starch thickens the filling when baking. If you like, you can use equal amounts of arrowroot powder or instant tapioca instead of cornstarch. Alternatively, replace 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour.

Other Ingredients – Drinking half a cup of water will result in sticky blueberry cores rather than dry or brittle blueberry cores. If you like a citrusy lemon-blueberry combination, optionally stir in 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon zest.

How to Make Healthy Blueberry Pie

First, preheat the oven to 350°F or 176°C. Grease the bottom and sides of a round 8-inch springform pan. Set the pan aside.
Prepare a healthy pie crust. Make the crust by combining the oats, flour, sweetener, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Stir well, then use a fork or pastry cutter to cut in the softened butter, oil or applesauce.
Press crust dough firmly into bottom of prepared pan. Then bake on the center rack of the oven for 12 minutes. Remove and let cool.
Next, prepare the blueberry pie filling by combining the berries, water, maple syrup, salt, cornstarch, and lemon zest (optional) in a bowl and stirring until well combined.
Spread evenly over crust in pan.
Combine remaining flour, oats, sweetener and cinnamon and stir well to make oatmeal streusel. Cut in the remaining butter, oil, and applesauce to make a crispy dough.
Sprinkle these homemade oat crumbles over the berries.
Finally, place the springform pan back into the hot oven. Bake for 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling appears bubbly and thick. (Tip: If you notice that the crumbles are browning too quickly, cover the top loosely with tin foil or a cookie baking sheet and continue cooking.)
When time is up, carefully remove the pie from the oven and allow to cool completely before removing the springform top. Enjoy sliced hot or cold with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired. See below for more serving ideas.

Healthy Blueberry Streusel Pie is delicious on its own or with a light dusting of powdered sugar on top.

I also like to top each piece with coconut ice cream or almond milk ice cream.

Or, if you’re feeling really healthy, try decorating the pastry with fresh raspberries, strawberries, bananas or mint leaves.

Other delicious options include coconut whipped cream or homemade frozen yogurt.

Store leftover healthy pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Alternatively, freeze individual pieces in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw frozen blueberry pie before serving.

Health Benefits of Blueberry Pie

High fiber. Thanks to the superfood blueberries and whole grain oats, just one slice of blueberry pie provides 15% of your RDA of fiber. You’ll also get 10% of your daily intake of iron.

Contains antioxidants. Blueberries are widely recognized as one of nature’s healthiest foods, with vitamin C, vitamin K, manganese, and anti-inflammatory properties. Containing up to 85% water, berries are a great source of moisture.

Naturally sweetened, low sodium, and cholesterol-free. Even if you choose real sugar rather than a no-sugar alternative, most of the sugar used in the recipe comes from naturally sweet blueberries.

Dairy-free and vegan recipes. The pie is plant-based as long as you use coconut oil, applesauce, or non-dairy butter. It’s a great healthy dessert for vegans and omnivores alike.

Homemade Blueberry Oat Crumble Pie (Healthy Dessert)

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C) and grease the bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan. Set aside.
2. Mix together the oats, flour, sweetener, and crust salt to make a healthy crust. Use a fork or pastry cutter to cut into soft butter, oil and applesauce.
3. Press the dough tightly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 12 minutes, then take out and cool.
4. Make the filling by adding blueberries, water, salt, cornstarch, lemon peel (optional), and filling sweetener to the bowl and whisk until well mixed. Spread this filling over the crust.
5. Lastly, add the remaining flour, sweetener, cinnamon, and oats and mix to create the streusel for a healthy blueberry pie. Cut the butter, oil and applesauce into small crumbles.
6. Sprinkle the oat crumbles over the pie and return the pan to the oven. Bake for 50 minutes or until crust is golden and blueberry filling is thick and bubbly. (If it’s browning too quickly and the filling isn’t bubbling yet, cover the top of the pan loosely with tin foil or a cookie sheet and continue baking.)
7. Take the pie out of the oven, let it cool, then cut and serve. This healthy dessert is delicious hot or cold.
