Instructions

1. Prepare the Almond Flour Crust:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Mix Crust Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, powdered erythritol, and salt. Stir in melted butter and egg until the mixture forms a dough.
3. Press Into Pan: Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to smooth it out.
4. Bake Crust: Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool slightly while you prepare the filling.

2. Prepare the Blueberry Filling:

1. Cook Blueberries: In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries, powdered erythritol, lemon juice, lemon zest (if using), cornstarch or xanthan gum, vanilla extract, and salt.
2. Simmer: Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble. This should take about 5-10 minutes.
3. Cool: Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

3. Assemble and Bake:

1. Fill Crust: Pour the blueberry filling into the pre-baked almond flour crust, spreading it evenly.
2. Bake Pie: Bake the pie for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
3. Cool: Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. This helps the filling to set properly.

Tips:

• Sweetener Adjustments: You can adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more or less erythritol or your preferred keto sweetener.
• Thickening Agent: If you prefer a more natural thickening agent, you can use chia seeds or ground flaxseeds instead of cornstarch or xanthan gum. Just be aware that it might alter the texture slightly.
• Storage: Store the pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It can also be frozen for longer storage.

Enjoy your keto-friendly blueberry pie! It’s perfect for a low-carb dessert or a sweet treat any time of the year.
