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.

- Eggs
- Almond extract

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.

Made this several times and always have people rave over it. Have used fresh & frozen blueberries and excellent results always. Recipe is very quick & easy and is new go/to dessert recipe!
Thanks for the five star review and glad everyone raves over it!
Fabulous and so easy. Can this be made eggless?
Not sure since I’ve only tried it as written.
I made this pie for a potluck at work. It went over so well and some people were upset that they didn’t get to try it that I made two more for the next day so everyone could get a piece. Tonight, I tried this recipe but used cinnamon coated apples and cut up Kraft caramel cubes into tiny pieces. It is so good! Extra ooey and gooey!! It would probably be good with walnuts in it as well. I had to cook it for about 40 minutes to keep the center from being too wet. Thank you for creating such a versatile recipe! I can’t wait to try it with cranberries for Christmas. I think I’m going to try some OJ in it instead of zest. I saw you mention in either this recipe or the cranberry that you were going to try it with strawberries but didn’t see an update. I also thought of trying that. If you tried it, how was it?
The cinnamon coated apples and cut up caramel cubes sounds excellent!! I need to try that! I did try it with strawberries and that was great as well https://www.averiecooks.com/crustless-fresh-strawberry-pie/
Please can you tell me he measurements in grams. So I can try this at home
Feel free to use an online calculator to do all the conversions for you.
The only thing that makes this a”pie” is the dish it is cooked in. I made it this morning as a trial run for an upcoming church event. It is so delicious!! I used frozen blueberries that were completely defrosted, rinsed and drained well. We pick fresh blueberries when in season and keep in the freezer all year long. This recipe is so easy with simple ingredients., it will be definitely be a go to for me from now on. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this will be a go-to!
This was great. I made it three times as listed. I just made it with 2 very ripe peaches. I put 1 heaping cup of berries in the batter. Poured half in the butter pie dish. Layered sliced peaches over the batter. Topped it with remaining batter. Then added 1/4 cup berries and sugar as listed. It took about 40-42 minutes in 350 oven. It was delish.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this has been great with peaches too!
I have never written a review before but had to on this. Really the best blueberry dessert ever! I followed the recipe but I accidentally added course salt and it was so good with the sweetness of them blueberries! Thanks for this. Will make again!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad you’ll make it again! Thanks for writing your first ever review, too!
We made this with Gluten free flour and it was amazing! This will be one of our favorite go to recipes whenever blueberries are in season!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this will be a go to for you! And that with GF flour it was amazing, great to hear! And I hope you and your family are doing well :)
This was amazing! I used wild blueberries and it was to die for. Literally the best not chocolate dessert I could ask for. Definitely don’t overcook! We call it blueberry cobbler cake.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this was amazing! I agree it’s one of the best non-chocolate desserts out there for me as well!
Yum!! Can it be made with cherries? Raspberries? I made it as is last night and it’s so good!
Yes, yes, and glad you enjoyed it!
This recipe worked great with frozen blueberries! All I did was rinse them in a strainer with cool water to thaw and to rinse off the excess juice. I let them drain and then sprinkled them with a health dose of flour right there in the strainer and shook off the excess flour. Next I added them to the batter according to the directions, but I gently folded them in. Instead of using the granulated sugar on top I used baker’s sugar granules to add a little crunch. I baked it for 35 minutes as suggested and a wire tester inserted in the center came out clean, but the middle was a bit too gooey for my taste. Next time I’ll probably add a few more minutes of baking time. I have some dried cherries and I am wondering how they would work, hmmmm! I will definitely use this recipe again!
Glad this came out great for you with frozen berries!
What is baker’s sugar? Is it the same as icing or powdered sugar? I plan on trying this for dinner tonite with ice cream.
You could google for more info on your question; but this recipe calls for granulated sugar.
Hi Sue. I’m making this pie in a ceramic pie dish. The building I live in has a once a month food pantry and we were inundated with 3lb bags of frozen blueberries. I ended up with 12lbs!! I’ve made muffins, breads and cakes. The pie I have in now is jiggly in the middle at 50mins. I know the coating with flour but didn’t do it with this recipe. Any suggestions? Question to Averie as well. Thanks, Katy
Well by now I’m sure it’s finished baking. Very simply, all ovens, climates, pans, berries, etc. vary so always with baking, just bake until it’s done, whatever that means in your situation.
just m made this blueberry pie, it is really good,
Glad you are enjoying it!
This is excellent. I also made raseberry instead of blueberry and they are both wonderful.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this was a winner with both raspberries and blueberries!
My husband loves this recipe and he is picky. He had never eaten blueberries before.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this got your husband to eat blueberries!!
I made it with frozen mixed berries, thawed and drained. Turned out great. I also left out the almond extract due to family allergies. Topped with Cool Whip instead of ice cream. Everything else as described.
Glad that the drained thawed berries worked great here!
I saw this recipe on facebook and have made it twice in the last week. Super easy and amazing flavor. My husband and
I devoured it. Did make the second one with frozen berries and just thawed before stirring in. no problem. So glad I tried it
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this has been on repeat the past week :)
