Blueberry Crumble Pie (gluten free + vegan)

Jump to Recipe

This gluten free + vegan blueberry crumble pie is the PERFECT summer dessert, with a seriously buttery crust, juicy blueberries, and an obscene amount of crumble topping.

OK… so this is technically may not be a pie. It’s sort of a hybrid between a crisp, a crumble, a pie, and a tart.

Being from Finland 🇫🇮, our version of pie is a bit different than the thick bottom and top crusted desserts you find in the United States. My most fond food memory from childhood is eating mustikkapiirakka (Finnish Blueberry Pie). It is made with a yeasted dough covered in sugar-sweetened blueberries. It seriously is heaven. I found a recipe in English HERE.

Today’s recipe is my ode to Finnish blueberry pie. It’s not made with a yeasted dough as I wanted to keep it gluten free, dairy free, and egg free. I’ve always loved fruit crisps and crumbles, so I’ve taken my Blueberry Crumble Bar recipe and tweaked it a bit to create a pie that features more of a crumble crust.

Hope you LOVE it as much as I do…..

Blueberry crumble pie recipe details

Y’all know I like to keep things super simple. This recipe consists of 2 parts: the crumble and the filling.

❤️ the crumble... is a mix of gluten free oats, almond flour, chopped nuts, maple syrup, coconut oil, baking powder, cardamom, + salt.

❤️ the filling… fresh juicy blueberries, maple syrup + a bit of arrowroot powder to thicken.

That’s it. Super easy to throw together.

It’s not the blueberry pie of my childhood, but the sweet, fresh blueberry filling does evoke the same feelings. And who doesn’t like a crispy crumble?

This uncomplicated pie can be made is a regular pie dish OR a 9 inch tart pan with a removable bottom. I chose the latter as it creates a lovely presentation.

What you end up with is a fabulously crunchy and flavorful crust, a mouth-watering blueberry filling, and a crispy topping to finish it off. This really speaks to my Finnish soul. If blueberries are your jam, you are going to ADORE this recipe.

Description

This gluten free + vegan blueberry crumble pie is the PERFECT summer dessert, with a fabulously crunchy and flavorful crust, a mouth-watering blueberry filling, and an obscene amount of crispy topping to finish it off.


Ingredients

Scale

THE FILLING

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 tsp arrowroot powder

THE CRUMBLE

  • 1 and 1/4 cup gluten free rolled oats
  • 1 cup almond flour (I use THIS blanched brand)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts (I used walnuts)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom (or cinnamon)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup solid coconut oil (not melted)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350’F.  Liberally grease a 9 inch tart pan OR pie dish.
  2. Toss blueberries in maple syrup and arrowroot powder until well combined.  Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, stir together oats, almond flour, chopped nuts, baking powder, salt, and cardamon.  Add is maple syrup and solid coconut oil.  Use your fingers to massage the mixture until you get a coarse crumble.
  4. Remove 3/4 cup of crumble to save for the topping.  Press the remaining crumble firmly into prepared tart pan to make the crust.  Spread blueberries evenly over crust and sprinkle on the reserved crumble topping.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until crust is golden and filling is bubbling.  Lay a piece of aluminum foil gently on top of pie for the last 15 minutes of baking to keep it from getting overly brown (almond flour likes to burn easily.)
  6. Cool completely before slicing and serving.

    I lived the crumble part but the blueberry part didn’t get runny at all. I almost wonder if I should cook it on the stove too and then add to the crust.

      Hi, Judy. Did you use fresh blueberries? When you cook them, they pop open slightly. This is not a super soupy, wet recipe. You can omit the arrowroot if you want a wetter pie. 🙂

i wish i had understood this 10 years ago at the b i wish i had understood this 10 years ago at the beginning of my healing journey 

healing, digestion, and rest are all parasympathetic processes • if the body is in a chronic stress state, these things do not happen 

chronic stress produces stress hormones that created physiological changes in the body (increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, increased blood sugar levels) • these changes take the focus away from digestion and repair 

reducing and eliminating the triggers that create constant stress on the body is crucial to being able to heal • because the body does not let go or heal when it doesn’t feel safe 

how to create safety in the body? —-> addressing life stress, woundings/traumas, underlying infections, toxicities (heavy metals, plastics, etc), nutritional deficiencies, environmental hazards like mold, and anything else that is constantly triggering the body to feel unsafe
💗 start with the basics • your well-being is 💗 start with the basics • your well-being is only as strong as the foundation you build it on 

💗 your mental and physical health is determined by the bed rock you have to lean on when “stress” happens 

💗 building resilience in the body and mind is how you navigate difficult situations 

💗 if you are not where you want to be in life, in health, in mindset... consider going back to the basics 

💗 the basics:

- the food you eat 
- the water you drink 
- your quality of sleep
- your daily movement
- your daily mindset
- your level of stress
- the quality of your breath 
- your drainage pathways 
- the people you surround yourself with 

💗 absolutely no judgement here • we are all in different seasons of life • just a loving reminder that a strong foundation is necessary to build upon
