Ingredients for Raw Vegan Blueberry Pie

Here’s everything you need for this vibrant pie:

  • 2 cups walnuts (or pecans, almonds, or a combination) – the base for a crunchy crust
  • 6 medjool dates (pits removed) – to sweeten the crust naturally
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt – enhances the flavors
  • 4 cups fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish, optional) – the star of the pie!
  • 2 bananas – for creaminess and natural sweetness
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup – adds extra sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice – brightens the flavor
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – adds depth to the filling
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt – for seasoning the filling

How to Make Raw Vegan Blueberry Pie

  1. Step 1: Place the walnuts, dates, and ½ teaspoon sea salt into a food processor fitted with an s-blade. Process until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and begins to stick together. Press the mixture evenly into a 9-inch shallow pie plate or tart pan to form the crust. Place it in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
  2. Step 2: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the fresh blueberries, bananas, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon sea salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, creating a creamy blueberry filling.
  3. Step 3: Pour the smooth blueberry filling over the chilled nut crust, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate the pie for several hours or preferably overnight to allow the filling to set and flavors to meld.
  4. Step 4: Before serving, optionally garnish the pie with additional fresh blueberries. Slice and enjoy this refreshing raw vegan dessert.
