Healthy Blueberry Pie. Out of all the desserts out there, pie has always been my favorite. In fact, my very first blog post was a pie recipe.
Please forgive the awful photos! Since we are in the middle of berry season, I was thinking about blueberry pie.
Last weekend, we took the girls out to lunch at Spiral Diner. My husband got the blueberry pie for dessert. It was good! I knew I could come home and make a healthier blueberry pie! My homemade blueberry pie is not only delicious, it’s vegan, gluten free and grain free!
This healthy blueberry pie is also very easy to make! If you like pie recipes as well, you may also like this and this.
This pie is delicious when topped with coconut whip cream. See how to make it in the video below. For more videos, you can subscribe to my You Tube Channel.

Recipe Notes
Please keep the pie stored in the fridge. It should last at least a week. You may even be able to freeze it, but I haven't tried to say for sure. The crust recipe I used was from Elana's Pantry .
