A Bounty of Blueberry Recipes

If you’ve been around for a little bit, you’ll know that blueberries are one of my favorite fruits to bake with. They can typically be tossed into recipes either fresh or frozen, and they have such a bright flavor and color (seriously, just look at my blueberry frosting!). Today, I’m collecting all of my blueberry recipes thus far into a neat and tidy list for you to choose from.

If you were to only make one of these blueberry recipes, I would suggest you make my blueberry cheesecake (my #1 pick!). While I’m certainly a cheesecake fanatic, that’s not the only reason I love this recipe. The blueberry flavor is unparalleled in this recipe, with berries both in and on top of the cheesecake. Also, it uses quite a lot of berries, so it’s great if you have an abundance!

Really though, all of these blueberry recipes well worth a try, so feel free to find your own favorite 🫐

1. Blueberry Cheesecake

Smooth, creamy cheesecake meets bright, sweet berries in this blueberry cheesecake recipe. We’ll add the berries in the cheesecake itself and on top for the most flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I do with a lot of blueberries?

Of all of my blueberry recipes, my blueberry cobbler, blueberry crumb bars, and blueberry cheesecake use the most berries (5-6 cups). You can also freeze any leftover fresh blueberries–they’re great for smoothies (or using in any of the recipes above!).

What are the best blueberry combinations?

Lemon and blueberry are pretty popular together, but cheesecake/cream cheese is another tasty pairing. Lavender also goes nicely with blueberry; if you’d like to see a recipe that combines those two flavors, let me know!

Can I substitute frozen blueberries for fresh?

For all of the blueberry recipes listed above (except for my blueberry muffin cookies), yes. It really depends on the recipe though, so check the recipe to be sure.

I can’t wait to hear which of these blueberry recipes you try! If you haven’t already, make sure you give my list of strawberry recipes a look too–there’s quite a few in that list that have become popular lately.
