Anyone who’s a fan of blueberries knows that a handful of the juicy fruit can also double as a healthy snack. Think of them like nature's candy—with their sweet-tart flavor, they’re hard to resist. But aside from just popping fresh blueberries in your mouth when they're in season, you’ll also want to take the opportunity to make these sweet blueberry desserts!
Whether it’s jammy cobblers, summery sweet rolls, or homemade blueberry pie, this list has tons of ideas to make blueberries shine. Plus, blueberries are a delightful companion to other sweet flavors, too. Pair them with zingy lemon treats in a bright blueberry lemon cake or double down on summer fruits with the mixed berry crisp. You can pick up a carton of fresh blueberries at the farmers' market when they're in season or find them in stores all year round, but wild and locally grown blueberries are at their peak in the months of July and August.
Looking to cool down this summer? You'll find some no-bake blueberry desserts that are great for beating the heat, like blueberry ice cream and blueberry-basil lemonade pops. Then, when the weather gets cooler, you can freeze your blueberries for many of these easy fruit recipes, including the blueberry bars and blueberry scones with vanilla icing. Whatever you do, don't let another minute pass you by without trying one of these colorful blueberry sweets!
