Easiest Blueberry Pie … Without a Crust!
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.

- Granulated sugar

- Cinnamon
- Salt

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!
Tips for the Best Crustless Blueberry Pie
Metal vs glass pan: 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.
Bake time: 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.
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.
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.
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 kept this crustless blueberry pie super simple, but I bet you could mix in other fresh berries if desired.

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.

Avery, Any thoughts on if this can be made, kept in fridge and baked the next day? My oven has quit and the part it needs is not going to be here for…two months apparently. It’s torture. I would like to make this ahead for my parents – make it ahead the day before and then I would bake it at their house. Any ideas if this would work?
Averie, this looks so good, my mouth is watering. I looked thru comments for an answer but don’t see it asked. Do you think the butter can be replaced with Greek yogurt? Looking to fit this bit of scrumptiousness into my calorie budget!
No I don’t think Greek yogurt will work in place of butter. It will turn into blueberry soup I surmise.
Try replacing butter with apple sauce.
Just for anyone who’s counting calories, this calorie count is waaaay off. It comes out to more like 350 calories per slice. I used Truvia sweetener and it still comes in at 273. Just saying.
Can you use frozen blue berries?
I have a big section in the blog post where this is discussed.
Wow what a tasty blueberry pie! Followed your recipe and it didn’t disappoint! Just yummy! Will make this pie again! Keeper Recipe! Thanks Averie!

Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this is a keeper for you!
I’m in the uk,how would I change the measurements to metric please? I don’t have any cups and what does. A Stick of butter weigh? Thank you. Sharon.
I would just do a quick Google search on any measurement questions you have because I don’t know the metric weights off the top of my head but Google knows them all :)

Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this has been your go-to dessert! It’s been a reader fave since 2018 actually!
I made these pies last year & loved them! How would you change it to make with peaches??
I would just use about 2 cups of sliced peaches, about 2 large peaches peeled and thinly sliced or cubed small and see how it looks volume-wise and add more (or less) if necessary.
I made 2 of these and took to family gathering and it was a hit! Moist, dense and so flavorful. I used frozen berries that I dusted in flour (not sure if it was necessary). I greased the pans with coconut oil. I topped it with Turbinado sugar. I don’t know if the larger sugar crystals added a little more “crunch” than regular sugar would have. Served with homemade whipped cream. Will definitely make this again and add it to my options when I take a meal to someone.
Simple and delicious recipe!
Averie, this has become my go-to dessert when I have company or need to bring one somewhere. Easy, delicious, and I’m going to add Healthyish thanks to all those blueberries! Even more perfect when warm with a scoop of ice-cream! Thank you for a great recipe!

Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this is your go-to dessert! We should all have one and glad this is the one for you! If you didn’t know or haven’t tried, you can pretty much make this with any types of berries and/or stone fruit, peaches, plums, etc. too!
I don’t normally comment on recipes but this one is INCREDIBLE! The only things I changed were, I rubbed crisco on the pie plate instead of spraying it. I used frozen blueberries also. I just rinsed & let them sit in a strainer for a bit. It turned out amazing. The edges got a beautiful crispness to them. Great recipe. Will be making again.
