What are the holidays without a sweet scrumptious pie? For a healthier option to traditional favorites, try this grain-free, no-sugar-added, very berry pie from Barbara Rogers’s It’s a No Grainer (have you bought the cookbook yet?). We recommend topping with SO Delicious dairy-free, no-sugar-added vanilla bean ice cream. Double YUM!

Crust Ingredients:

  • 1 cup almond butter
  • 1 egg
  • 6-8 dates, pitted
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Cooking spray or coconut oil

Filling Ingredients:

  • 1 cup each fresh or frozen blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and blackberries
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot flour
  • 2 packets of Stevia
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

  • Preheat oven at 350 degrees
  • Grease a pie pan with coconut oil or cooking spray
  • Place crust ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend (this may take awhile since
    its so thick; just be patient. It is worth the wait!)
  • After blending, pour into pie pan and flatten and push all sides up to ¼-1/2 inch
  • For the filling, spoon all ingredients in a bowl. Make sure the berries are cut to about the same size and mix well.
  • Fill the pie pan with the very berry mix and spread out evenly
  • Place in oven for approximately 45 minutes
  • Halfway through baking, cover with aluminum foil so the crust doesn’t overbrown
  • Take the pie out and let it cool, then place in the refrigerator for two hours
    before slicing
