Table of Contents
This is a super easy, no-mixer blueberry dessert that’s perfect for last-minute summer entertaining. It’s the type of pie you’d bring to a potluck or picnic to share. Casual but so tasty.
I don’t have a lot of pie recipes on my blog compared to other desserts because I hate making pie crust. This no-crust blueberry pie is a total winner because no pie crust is needed and you save those empty pie crust calories for a better use. Like for other empty calories, such as wine and cheese.
You don’t have to break out your mixer either, which is always nice.
What Does a Crustless Pie Taste Like?
I wouldn’t call the texture totally pie-like, but I also wouldn’t call it as light as cake. Somewhere in between cake and a blondie with a little bit of the gooiness of pie because I underbaked it just a smidge.
The ingredients and ratios are very similar between the pie and my no-fail blondies recipe, except that the pie recipe has granulated sugar and 2 eggs, whereas blondies have brown sugar and 1 egg.
The edges are chewier with a more tender and gooey interior. If you want it firmer, bake it longer. I sprinkled sugar on top before baking and it adds a tiny bit of crunch, which I relish.

Note: Scroll down to the recipe card section of the post for the ingredients with amounts included and for more complete directions.
How to Make a Crustless Blueberry Pie
Homemade blueberry pie couldn’t be simpler! Follow the following steps:
- Whisk together the wet and dry ingredients in separate bowls.
- Then, carefully stir in the blueberries (the batter will be quite thick).
- Sprinkle a handful of blueberries and some sugar on the pie before you bake it.
- You’ll know when the fresh blueberry pie is finished baking when the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Topping Ideas
I like to serve this pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but both are optional!
Recipe FAQs
This recipe is adapted from my Crustless Cranberry Pie that I fell in love with and made over and over before Christmas, and this crustless blueberry pie was no exception — love at first bite. I had such great luck using fresh cranberries and never tinkered with frozen.
So when I read the note I wrote to myself in my planner back in December, and that I should make this recipe in June, I immediately reached for fresh blueberries. And then I made it again with strawberries.
You’re probably fine to make this dessert with frozen blueberries, but do NOT thaw them before adding to the batter. Toss them with a spoonful of flour (they release extra moisture as they bake) and add 10ish minutes to the total bake time. I’m just guessing though, as I’ve only ever used fresh berries.
I kept this crustless blueberry pie super simple, but I bet you could mix in other fresh berries if desired.
If you don’t have a glass pie plate on hand, you can use an 8-inch round cake tin instead. If it looks like the blueberry pie filling is too much for your substitute pan, omit a little so the pie doesn’t overflow in the oven.
I prefer to underbake my homemade blueberry pie slightly (35 minutes) for a more gooey center, but it’s personal preference and since all ovens, climates, and berries vary, watch your pie and not the clock.
Note that I used a glass pie plate to make this recipe. If you use a metal baking dish, the bake time may vary because metal conducts heat better than glass.
Storage and Make-Ahead
At room temp: Store airtight for up to 5 days.
In the freezer: Cool completely before storing airtight for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw on the counter.
Make ahead: This no-crust pie keeps well at room temperature for a few days, so feel free to make it a day or two before you plan on serving it.

Crustless Blueberry Pie
Ingredients
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or to taste
- ½ to 1 teaspoon almond extract, or to taste
- 2 cups plus 1/4 cup fresh blueberries, divided (I have only made with fresh and cannot comment on using frozen)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9-inch round pie dish very well with cooking spray; set aside. I used a glass pie dish; baking times may vary if using metal.
- To a large bowl, add 1 cup sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and whisk to combine; set aside.
- To a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and heat on high power to melt, about 45 seconds. Wait momentarily before adding the eggs so you don’t scramble them.
- Ad the eggs, extracts, and whisk to combine.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry and stir to combine; don’t overmix.
- Add 2 cups blueberries and stir to combine; batter is very thick.
- Turn mixture out into prepared pie dish, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
- Evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup blueberries over the top.
- Evenly sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar over the top and bake for about 34 to 39 minutes, or until edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs but no batter.
- Allow pie to cool in pie dish on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Optionally serve with whipped topping or ice cream. Pie will keep airtight at room temp for up to 5 days.
Notes
- I prefer to underbake slightly (35 minutes) for a more gooey center but it’s personal preference and since all ovens, climates, and berries vary, watch your pie and not the clock.

Simply amazing! Everyone in the family loved it. My husband, who is rhubarb pie fan, asked if I could try it using rhubarb. I’m going to try it and see how it goes.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this was a hit! If you try it with rhubarb, come back and write how it goes. Others have asked but I don’t know firsthand.
This recipe is a definite keeper!! I went out and picked fresh raspberries since I didn’t have blueberries, and YUM! This might be the best “pie” I’ve ever made! Can’t wait to try it with blackberries next. :)
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad the raspberries worked out well! I am sure it was delish!! Glad it’s possibly the best ‘pie’ you’ve ever made and a keeper!
This came out fantastic!!! I didn’t have vanilla extract so I used lemon instead. I will definitely make this again.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad the lemon extract worked like a charm!
This is awesome! I made it with frozen blueberries and just cooked it an extra couple of minutes. Wonderful! I used a full teaspoon of Almond Extract and we thought it a little too much. I’ll try 1/2 teaspoon next time. And there will be a next time. So easy and so good.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad that the frozen berries worked well! Yes adjust the extract to taste based on your preferences. Glad you will make it again!
O.M.G. ……….I made this recipe (and on one of the hottest days in Seattle 90+ degrees) and I cannot describe the joy our taste buds experienced…….This is soooooo delicious and tasty. I had some dusting sugar that I used for the top and it made it unbelievable! I’m sending this recipe to my friend who grows blueberries so she can be happy! :-)
The only thing I didn’t do was add the almond extract…..didn’t have any and didn’t want to buy it. I don’t know that it even needs it! Thank you for the happiness.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad you loved this! The whole west coast is so hot it’s literally burning up :(
Wow, saw this on FB and thought I’d give it a try–DE-LISH-SHUS!!! Mine was quite soft in the middle, giving it a more “pie-like” characteristic, but I’m sure another 2 minutes in the oven would make it firmer and more like cake. It’s still warm and already half gone! Thanks for the quick and easy and yummy recipe.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it was half gone in a flash. And yes, another 2 mins probably would have firmed it up a bit more…I personally prefer it like yours, on the gooeier side :)
Absolutely delicious! We are addicted-made it 2 times in 2 days and it just seems to disappear. Just bought more blueberries!!! Will definitely try other fruits.
Thank You
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad you are addicted to it :)
I loved this recipe! It was quick and easy. I will be making the strawberry and cranberry versions soon. Have you made it with fresh peaches?
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad you loved it! I have not made it with peaches but other commenters/readers have indicated they have.
Just tried this with fresh blackberries but I think they have too much moisture! I’ll have to try with blueberries later this week!
Thanks for the feedback. Could be – never have tried with blackberries. Hopefully it’s perfect wity blueberries.
FABULOUS and super easy!! LOVED it!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad you loved it!
Is there a slow cooker version for days you dont want to turn on the oven…it’s just too hot outside. .janie
No there is not.
How could I do this more diabetic friendly. Love blueberries and all kinds of fruit.
Can’t rate it just yet haven’t tried it. Will do this on the weekend.
I am not really sure since I have only made it as written.
It’s a keeper! Left out the cinnamon and bruleed the top ever so slightly. Quick, easy as (dare I say it) pie! Hoping there’s a slice left for breakfast in the morning!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it’s a keeper!
Absolutely delicious!!! Don’t skimp on the almond extract…the flavor is an integral part of the success of this delicious recipe! Can’t wait to make it again!! Wanted to post pictures, but didn’t see anywhere I could do that.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad you agree about not skimping on the almond extract!
I tried with frozen blueberries! I mixed them with 2 tablespoons corn starch and baked few minutes more. I also added some cardamom! This was very delicious!!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it was a hit!
Fabulous! Made with fresh blueberries and gluten free flour and dairy free marj and it didn’t seem to matter. Used a 9.5 in pie plate to be sure it didn’t run over.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it turned out great GF and DF!
