Wild Blueberry Pie

A great pie recipe is a wonderful addition to any home cook’s repertoire, especially if it’s packed full of an incredible healing food like wild blueberries and is also made with clean ingredients. This pie recipe tastes amazing, along with being free of gluten, dairy, refined sugar, eggs, harmful oils, and any other problematic ingredients.

While other food plants can only continue after a fire if their seeds survive and are replanted, wild blueberry plants can be burned to the ground, and they will come back stronger than ever. No other food on the planet has the ability to thrive in such trying conditions.

Wild Blueberry Pie

Ingredients:

Crust:

• 3 tbsp ground flaxseeds
• 1/3 cup applesauce
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
• 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
• 1 1/2 cup gluten free oat flour
• 1/2 cup brown rice flour
• 3 tbsp tapioca starch

Crumble topping:

• 1/3 cup gluten free oat flour
• 2 tbsp brown rice flour
• 1 tbsp coconut sugar
• 2 tbsp melted coconut oil

Filling:

• 6 cups frozen wild blueberries
• 2/3 cup raw honey or maple syrup
• 1/3 cup arrowroot starch or tapioca starch
• 2 tbsp lemon juice

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F/180C.

To make the crust, combine the ground flaxseeds, applesauce, coconut sugar, and coconut oil in a bowl. Whisk until uniform. In another bowl, whisk together the oat flour, brown rice flour and tapioca flour. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until you get a uniform soft dough. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper, then transfer to a 9-inch pie dish. Using your hands, press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the dish. You can use a glass to flatten the bottom. Prick the dough a few times with a fork. Refrigerate until needed.

To make the crumble topping, combine the oat flour, brown rice flour, and coconut sugar in a small bowl. Whisk until uniform, then pour in the melted coconut oil. Rub the wet ingredients into the dry until you get a crumbly mixture. Set aside.

To make the filling, combine the wild blueberries, maple syrup, arrowroot. and lemon juice in a large saucepan. Bring the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring often, until you get a very thick mixture. Transfer filling to prepared crust and top with crumble. Bake for 25-35 minutes, until the crust is browned. Cool pie completely before serving.
