Ingredients

Scale

🛒 Ingredients (for one 9-inch pie):

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits)

  • ¼ cup coconut sugar or granulated sugar

  • ⅓ cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter

  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

For the Blueberry Chia Filling:

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

  • ¼ cup maple syrup or honey

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ cup chia seeds

  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt (for creaminess)

For Topping (Optional):

  • Fresh blueberries

  • Mint leaves

  • Toasted coconut flakes


Instructions

📝 Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

  1. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted coconut oil, and cinnamon until evenly combined.

  2. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan, making an even layer on the bottom and slightly up the sides. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.

Step 2: Make the Blueberry Chia Filling

  1. In a small saucepan, heat blueberries and maple syrup over medium heat until they soften and release juice (5–7 minutes). Mash slightly for a smoother texture.

  2. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let cool slightly.

  3. In a bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, and yogurt. Stir in the blueberry mixture. Mix well to ensure chia seeds are evenly distributed.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

  1. Pour the blueberry chia pudding over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

  2. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight to allow chia seeds to thicken and set the pie.

Step 4: Add Toppings

  1. Before serving, top with fresh blueberries, mint leaves, or toasted coconut flakes for extra flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Chia Pudding Tip: Stir the chia mixture after 30 minutes in the fridge to prevent clumping.
  • Sweetness Adjustments: Add more maple syrup or honey if you prefer a sweeter pie.
  • Vegan Version: Use coconut yogurt and maple syrup instead of Greek yogurt and honey.
  • Make Ahead: Can be made 1–2 days in advance; keep refrigerated.
