This pie is a celebration of texture and flavor: a nutty whole grain crust, a creamy protein-rich filling, a vibrant blueberry layer bursting with antioxidants, and a golden crumble topping that adds crunch and warmth. Blueberries are known for their ability to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce oxidative stress. Cream cheese provides satisfying richness and protein, while the crust and crumble are made with almond flour and oats for a low-glycemic, fiber-packed base. Sweetened with stevia or coconut sugar, this dessert is a guilt-free indulgence that supports wellness and community sharing.
