You are going to love the best Blueberry Desserts recipes, all bursting with ripe, delicious blueberries! Of course, summer blueberry desserts are one of my favorite things about the season, because that’s when the fruit is finally getting ripe. That said, you can make blueberry recipes any time of year, thanks to frozen blueberries!

I love to go blueberry picking during the summer months. There’s nothing like fresh blueberries off the vine. Or actually, it’s more like off the bush. Either way, blueberries are great in so many recipes.

It’s a little bit of work going through the berries once you get home — I like to sort out the best berries to serve fresh and the smaller berries for baking and sauces.

Today I’m sharing with you some of my favorite blueberry dessert recipes.

You may think it’s a stretch to call some of these blueberry recipes dessert. You know, things like waffles and muffins. In my book, you can serve blueberry waffles any time of day! We can’t pin waffles in a breakfast corner!

So, that makes these recipes some of my favorite blueberry desserts, regardless of the way society may describe them.

Fresh Blueberry Desserts

You can do like me and pick your own fresh blueberries or you can even buy fresh blueberries at a farmer’s market or grocery store. Interestingly enough, you can find blueberry bushes growing all across the United States, but only a few states account for the majority of blueberries sold across the country.

For each of these vegan blueberry recipes, you can use either frozen or fresh blueberries, based on your preferences and/or the availability of fresh in your area.

New to Vegan Baking?

The idea of making cookies, cakes, or muffins without eggs or dairy can seem like a hill too tall to climb. But with the simple tips in my Guide to Vegan Baking, you’ll be baking like a vegan pro in no time!

Easy Blueberry Desserts

It’s one thing to love berries mixed in with your dessert, but it’s another altogether to have so many easy blueberry desserts with fresh blueberries. Or frozen blueberries. Whatever works best for you based on the time of year. Let’s begin with cake.

Whether fresh or frozen berries, these vegan blueberry desserts will be right up your alley!

Blueberry Breakfast Desserts

Breakfast for Dessert? Or is it Dessert for Breakfast? There really is a blurring of definitions here. In fact, there is evidence to show that having your dessert for breakfast is healthier. It makes sense because of things like circadian rhythms (our biological clock), we are better equipped to handle sugar better in the early hours of the day.

We all know that breakfast for dinner is a thing, so why not have breakfast for dessert. That’s what I’m thinking. I will also confess to making waffles and/or pancakes and using them as buns for my veggie burgers. Combining sweet and savory is such a game-changer!

So, let’s get to it. Here are some of my favorite breakfast blueberry recipes that can also be used for dessert!

Healthy Blueberry Desserts

Any time we think of berry recipes, it’s natural to lean toward healthy desserts. Of course, that’s not always the case. So, if you’re looking for low-calorie blueberry recipes, this is for you. Or if you simply want to make your favorite blueberry dessert healthy, I’ve got you covered.

That’s it for my favorite blueberry dessert recipes! Now you know why dessert with blueberries is a go-to favorite. Didn’t see what you’re looking for? Looking for more blueberry dessert ideas? Drop me a line and let me know your favorite blueberry recipes to veganize!

    Excellent blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?

    I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost
    on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely overwhelmed ..
    Any tips? Thank you!

      I talk about all of this on my podcast called The Chopped Podcast. I think the answer to these questions depends on your goals. If you want this as a hobby, then a free platform is great.
