Wild Blueberry Pie With Almond Crust (keto)

I’ve always had a burning curiosity about Finland, ever since my childhood best friend moved there, leaving me to face the treacherous world of nine-year-old problems all alone. Yes, I’m still not over it.

Finnish Blueberry Cake

Wild Blueberry Pie With Almond Crust recipe is my own take on a Finnish blueberry cake that is perfect for a keto diet. You could call it a cousin of the traditional Finnish blueberry cake, but with a keto twist. But let me tell you, it’s just as delicious and satisfying.

And it’s super easy to make. We’re talking 10 minutes of prep and the rest is the oven doing its magic.
I like to go easy on the sugar but still want that sweet-and-sour balance.

So for the crust, and the creamy filling, I only add a tablespoon of sugar. Trust me, it’s all about finding that sweet spot without going overboard.
When serving a Wild Blueberry Pie slice, I like to sprinkle a little extra sugar on top. Maybe it’s all in my head, but it feels like I’m keeping the sugar in check while still getting that lovely pop of sweetness. Gotta love the power of imagination, don’t you?

So there’s my keto-friendly, Wild Blueberry Pie with Almond Crust – a nod to Finland and a treat for your taste buds.
