Ingredients(for 1 medium slice per serving, suitable for lunch in Singapore)

  • 1 cup Fresh blueberries (Available at local wet markets)
  • 1 cup Whole wheat flour (For healthier crust)
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (Use plant-based spread for vegan)
  • 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk (Can substitute with oat milk) - optional
  • 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (Reduces glycemic index)
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch (For thickening filling)
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (Enhances blueberry flavor)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt (Balances sweetness)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon powder (Adds aromatic touch) - optional

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 180°C. Prepare a small pie dish by lightly greasing it.

    5 minutes

    Use coconut oil for greasing to add subtle aroma.

  2. 2

    Combine whole wheat flour, salt, and unsalted butter in a bowl. Rub the butter into the flour until crumbly.

    5 minutes

    Keep butter cold for a flaky crust.

  3. 3

    Add low-fat milk to the mixture and knead gently until a soft dough forms. Press dough into the pie dish to create an even base.

    3 minutes

    Avoid overworking dough to prevent tough crust.

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, mix blueberries, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon powder (if using). Toss to coat evenly.

    3 minutes

    Taste blueberries and adjust sugar if needed.

Why This Dish is Healthy

Our recipe uses whole wheat flour and fresh blueberries, reducing refined sugars and fats commonly found in traditional pies. This lowers calories and improves nutrition, making it a heart-friendly lunch. The high fiber content aids digestion, and antioxidants from the blueberries support immune health. By controlling portion size and using lighter dairy options, this pie fits perfectly into a healthy eating plan without sacrificing flavor.

This Blueberry Pie offers a nutritious lunch option, packed with antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber from fresh blueberries. Whole wheat flour boosts the protein and complex carbohydrates, supporting sustained energy. Using brown sugar and minimal butter lowers the fat and glycemic load, making it suitable for calorie-conscious diets. The addition of lemon juice adds a dose of vitamin C, while cornstarch keeps the filling light and gluten-free. Each slice delivers a balance of macros, with moderate carbs, healthy fats, and plant-based protein, making it ideal for vegetarians.

Pro Tips
