Why You'll Love This Recipe

Featured Ingredients

ingredients to make the blueberry pie.
  • Butter - Everything is better with butter.
  • Eggs - Help this pie rise and hold it all together. 
  • Vanilla Extract - Adds a little something in the background.
  • Sugar - Bringing all the sweetness to the pie.
  • Lemon Zest and Lemon Juice - Blueberries and lemon belong together. 
  • Gluten Free Flour - I love Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 flour in the blue bag. 
  • Salt - Helps balance all the flavors. 
  • Blueberries - Fresh juicy blueberries!

See the recipe card for the exact measurements and complete instructions.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Step 1: Melt the butter and set aside to cool. 

Step 2: In a medium bowl, crack in the eggs and beat them with a whisk.

adding melted butter into the eggs in the glass bowl.

Step 3: Once the melted butter is cooled a bit, slowly drizzle the butter into the beaten eggs and whisk the entire time. It is important to make sure the butter is cool. Otherwise, it will scramble the eggs.

Step 4: Add the vanilla extract and 1 cup of sugar to the egg mixture. Whisk until combined.

Step 5: Next, zest the lemon with a micoplane. I love our microplane. It feels so fancy. If you don’t have one yet, the side of a grater will work, too.

Step 6: Cut the zested lemon in half and juice it. Remove any seeds. Add the juice and zest to the batter.

Step 7: Add the flour and salt. Whisk until the flour is completely moistened.

Step 10: Top the pie with the extra ¼ cup of blueberries. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar. It will create a crunchy top crust. 

Step 11: Bake in a 350 degree F preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool the pie on a wire rack before cutting for best results.

Tips and Tricks

Add less blueberries to the top if you want more crust versus fruit.

Serve a slice of pie with homemade whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, fresh blueberries, and additional lemon zest.

Make this pie for dessert on the Fourth of July or any summer celebration! The fresh berries are in season and the star of this pie.

Ingredient Swaps

  • Gluten Free Flour - If you do not need to use gluten free flour, swap it out for all-purpose flour. 
  • Dairy Free Milk - If you need to use dairy free milk, swap it for your favorite dairy free milk. Our favorite is unsweetened almond milk. 
  • Butter - If you need a completely dairy free option, swap out the butter for coconut oil or dairy free butter option.
  • Berries - Use a combination of raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries for a beautiful berry trio. Keep the amount the same as the recipe.

Special Diet Variations

Gluten Free Crustless Pie: Use Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Flour

Lactose Free Crustless Pie: Use lactose free milk or unsweetened almond milk for the milk. Butter is naturally lower in lactose. 

Low FODMAP Crustless Pie: Use gluten free flour, and lactose-free milk. Fresh blueberries and lemon juice are a great option for a low FODMAP. Leave off the additional sugar topping if concerned about the sugar content.

Storing

Store: Cool the pie completely and cover it with plastic wrap. 

Freeze: If you want to freeze a slice or two for later, place it in an airtight container and in the freezer for up to 4 months. Defrost completely and serve with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, but do not defrost the berries. Be aware that the blueberries may turn the pie purple-ish.

What can I use instead of a pie plate?

If you do not have a pie pan, swap it for a 9-inch cake pan or a 9x9-inch square baking dish.

Can I use a different berry?

Sure, raspberries would be delicious.

Hello, I'm Venessa! After a diagnosis that would change how I cook and eat meals, I had to adapt my favorite recipes to be low FODMAP—turning what was once a sour lemon into something loveable. So join me on a delicious journey to falling in love with food again.
