Everyone has their own marker for when summer is here — and I mean, like, really here. For me, it’s the arrival of blueberry season. As soon as baskets of plump, ripe blueberries hit the market, I know summer is in full swing. Even though I should know better by now, the start of blueberry season never happens quite as early as I expect. So by the time I do get my hands on sweet summer blueberries, I’m ready with a long list of all the things I want to make.
As I sorted through all of Kitchn’s blueberry recipes, I made a very interesting discovery: I very much expected quintessential summer desserts, like jammy blueberry cobbler, pie, or even easy pie bars, to be leading the charge. But that wasn’t the case at all. Yes, these classic favorites made the most popular list, but it was breakfast treats, including blueberry muffins, scones, and sweet breakfast casseroles, that stood out over all the rest.
Here are 15 must-make blueberry recipes to help you decide what to make with blueberries this summer.
