Strawberry pie with almond flour

A homemade strawberry pie with almond flour is more than just a dessert — it’s a delicious treat loved not only by those with a sweet tooth but also by anyone who appreciates fresh, homemade baking. Its rich flavor and irresistible aroma are impossible to compare with store-bought pastries, and the recipe is simple enough for beginners. You don’t need professional baking skills or exotic ingredients to create this beautiful dessert.

Adding almond flour to the dough gives the pie a delicate nutty flavor while making it a healthier choice. Almond flour is naturally rich in vitamin E, one of the most powerful antioxidants that helps protect the body from free radicals. It also contains B vitamins, which support the healthy functioning of the nervous system.

In addition, almond flour provides essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, and zinc, all of which play important roles in metabolism and help maintain overall health and energy.

Made from finely ground almonds, gluten-free almond flour is an excellent source of dietary fiber, which supports healthy digestion, improves intestinal function, and helps reduce bloating and digestive discomfort.

Ingredients

To make this fragrant and incredibly delicious strawberry almond flour pie, you will need:

• 125 g (½ cup) unsalted butter, softened;
• 1 cup granulated sugar;
• 2 eggs;
• 2 cups all-purpose flour;
• ½ cup almond flour;
• 2 teaspoons baking powder;
• 800 g (about 1¾ lb) fresh strawberries;
• ½ cup almonds, roughly crushed;

Step-by-step instructions

Remove the stems from the strawberries, wash them thoroughly, and allow them to drain completely. If the berries are large, cut them in half.

Beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture becomes light, fluffy and pale. Add the softened butter (do not melt it) and mix until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and baking powder. Sift the dry ingredients twice to create a lighter texture.

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture while stirring continuously. The dough should become thick and elastic.

Grease a baking pan with butter. Spread the dough evenly across the bottom and slightly up the sides of the pan.

Arrange the strawberries evenly over the dough. Lightly crush the almonds using a mortar and pestle, then sprinkle them over the strawberries.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 35–40 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 15–20 minutes before serving. Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. For an elegant finishing touch, dust it with powdered sugar before serving.

Recipe notes:

You can easily substitute the almonds with walnuts, cashews, or peanuts for a different flavor and texture. These nuts, along with premium almond flour and other natural baking ingredients, are available from the CraftOil online store.
