12 Blueberry Recipes to Burst into Summer Flavor
These dusky-blue jewels are one of the much-awaited first signs of summer. This recipe collection is bursting with blueberry flavor, from lofty layer and humble cakes to refreshing breakfast ideas.
Blueberry Crème Fraîche Layer Cake
This cake balances the delicately sweet flavors of fresh blueberries and the subtle tang of crème fraîche. For added depth of flavor, the batter is infused with vanilla extract and perfumed with lemon zest. Using cake flour instead of all-purpose flour makes a more tender cake since it’s made from soft wheat, providing an ideal amount of protein and giving this cake the perfect structure. The result is wonderfully complex in both taste and texture.
Roasted Blueberry Pull-Apart Loaf
With this Roasted Blueberry Pull-Apart Loaf, each delicious layer peels back to reveal pockets of lemon-sugar-roasted blueberries, balancing acidity and boosting the fruit’s jam-like qualities.
Blueberry-Lemon Tiramisù
Layered with Ladyfingers dipped in a tangy lemon soak and a berry sauce swirled throughout the whipped, creamy layer, this Blueberry-Lemon Tiramisù is the light and airy treat that will take your summer celebrations to the next level.
Blueberry Biscuits
Flaky buttermilk biscuits get a bright blueberry update.
Blueberry Slab Pie with Mascarpone Whipped Cream
From its no-fuss piecrust that comes together quickly in a food processor to its perfectly balanced filling, this straightforward and stress-free pie is perfect for all your warm-weather picnics and parties. A swift stash in the freezer helps eliminates a soggy bottom crust, and it will help the dough shrink less when baked so it holds its shape in the oven. The crust bakes to golden brown perfection and is sturdy enough to hold the gorgeous, glossy blueberry filling. All it needs is a dollop of tangy whipped mascarpone cream.
Giant Blueberry Bun
Studded with blueberries and spiced with cinnamon and ginger, meet your new brunch centerpiece – the Giant Blueberry Bun.
Blueberry Frangipane Loaf Cake
Frangipane, a classic component of French baking, is a velvety, sweet, filling made of butter, eggs, sugar, almond flour, a bit of all-purpose flour, and a hint of almond extract that gets stirred together into a golden spreadable paste. This smooth nutty cream adds delicious richness and texture when swirled into the almond-scented cake batter, giving an exquisite nutty flavor and tenderness to the crumb. Studded with blueberries and scattered with sliced almonds, this summery loaf is simple yet stunning.
Blueberry Streusel Muffins
In our tasty upgrade to the classic, a rich, orange-scented batter is combined with lightly mashed and whole fruit, leading to the comforting and iconic Blueberry Streusel Muffin. With pops of caramelized blueberries and a Graham Cracker Streusel, these muffins are simply unforgettable.
Blueberry-Cornmeal Skillet Cake
Fresh blueberries and a hint of lemon zest give this Blueberry-Cornmeal Skillet Cake a bright flavor, while the cornmeal adds a rustic texture. Serve it as dessert or alongside breakfast.
Blueberry Mascarpone Babka with Lemon Curd Glaze
Freeze-dried blueberries are a wonderful alternative to fresh berries, whose high water content makes them difficult to incorporate into this already wet dough. With a sweet berry swirl to echo summer’s haul, this Blueberry Mascarpone Babka is as bright as they come.
Blueberry Browned Butter Buckle
Browned butter gives this berry-studded buckle a deeper, richer flavor that is balanced by the Brown Rice Crumb Topping, essential for the dessert’s “buckled” appearance. Substitute blueberries for raspberries, or try a 50/50 mix for a colorful twist.
Blueberry-Almond Galettes
Almond flour is finer than standard all-purpose. It absorbs more moisture from the dough, giving the buttermilk crusts of these Blueberry-Almond Galettes added crispness. A hint of tart lemon zest balances out the sweetness of the blueberries.
