Blueberry Pie with Flax and Almonds Recipe



Ingredients:
  • FOR THE CRUST
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3/4 cup flax seed meal
  • 3/4 cup finely ground almonds (almond meal)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • FOR THE FILLING
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup plain non-fat yogurt
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats, ground into flour
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 4 cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons honey


  • Instructions:
  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine the graham cracker crumbs, flax seed meal, and ground almonds in a bowl; stir in the melted butter. Add a few drops of water, if necessary, for the crumb mixture to stick together. Press half of the crumb mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan; the crust should only be about 1/8-inch thick. Set the other half of the crumb mixture aside.
  • Combine the sour cream, yogurt, ground oats, sugar, honey, vanilla, and salt in a blender. Blend until combined. Transfer the blueberries to the pie pan and pour in the filling.
  • To make the topping, stir 2 tablespoons of honey, or to taste, into the reserved crumb mixture. It should form a very thick paste. Drop teaspoonfuls of the topping on the surface of the pie.
  • Bake the pie in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted near the center of the pie comes out clean. Turn off the oven and let the pie rest in the warm oven for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the pie from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. Chill in the refrigerator until the pie is cool and set.
