50 Irresistible Vegan Blueberry Recipes for Each Occasion

Tiny Berry, Big Flavor

From cozy weekend pancakes to dazzling party desserts, blueberries know how to shine!

These little berries pack a punch far beyond their size. Whether folded into fluffy pancakes, baked into golden pies, or blended into creamy dairy-free smoothies, blueberries add a burst of sweetness, color, and nutrition to any dish.

Their natural tang complements sweet and savory recipes, making them one of the most versatile ingredients in a vegan kitchen.

Why Eat Blueberries?

Rich in Antioxidants: Blueberries are loaded with powerful antioxidants—especially anthocyanins—which help protect cells from oxidative stress and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Brain Boosting: Studies suggest that blueberries may help improve memory, cognitive function, and delay age-related mental decline, thanks to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Heart Health: Regular consumption of blueberries has been linked to lower blood pressure and reduced LDL ("bad") cholesterol, promoting overall cardiovascular health.
Supports Healthy Digestion: Blueberries are a good source of dietary fiber, promoting regular bowel movements and a healthy gut microbiome.
Immune System Support: Packed with vitamins C and K, blueberries help support immune function and overall wellness.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties: The phytochemicals in blueberries may help reduce inflammation, which is the root cause of many chronic health conditions.
Blood Sugar Friendly: Blueberries have a low glycemic index and can help regulate blood sugar levels, making them a smart fruit choice for people with diabetes or insulin resistance.
Skin Health: The antioxidants and vitamins in blueberries can promote collagen production and help protect the skin from damage caused by the sun and pollution.

These vegan-friendly recipes will help you turn this tiny berry into a big deal at your next meal—no dairy, no eggs, no problem.

Ready to let blueberries steal the spotlight? Let's explore how this vibrant fruit can take plant-based cooking to the next level, including but not limited to the following.

blueberry muffins
blueberry cheesecake pie
blueberry cake
blueberry bread
blueberry pie bars

1. Little Bites Mini Blueberry Muffins

Have you ever wondered how to make Little Bites mini muffins at home? I certainly have.

You are in luck because Feasting on Fruit has these Little Bites mini blueberry muffins that will satisfy this craving.

🥐

Here are additional breakfast recipes.

2. Blueberry Cheesecake Pie

Have you ever debated whether you should have a slice of cheesecake or pie? Feel free to have both with this blueberry cheesecake pie from ElaVegan.

🥧

Here are additional pie recipes.

3. Blueberry Cake

Every year, my aunt used to make an annual family calendar. Each month, there were pictures of all of us at family gatherings, holidays, and birthday parties.

After she passed away when I was 9, my mom carried on that tradition, and we still have them today. It's a great idea because it has a bunch of written reminders of everyone's birthdays and anniversaries.

Even though the next family birthday is not for another month, cakes are a great reminder of how we should be grateful for every year we get in life, because we don't know when it will be someone's last.

On a brighter note, bake this blueberry cake from The Little Blog of Vegan, regardless of whether anyone has a birthday coming up or not.

🍰

I recommend these cake recipes.

4. Blueberry Bread

Bread is one of my favorite breakfast dishes to make. It's customizable, easy, and relatively quick to bake.

If you're thinking like me, make blueberry bread with the help of Rainbow Nourishments.

5. Blueberry Pie Bars

Earlier this summer, I made these blackberry pie bars for a summer backyard bash, and they were a hit. If you would create something similar with blueberries, give these blueberry pie bars a try from Thyme & Love.

6. Blueberry Donuts

A coffee church is a Christian church that uses a coffee shop or cafe as a part of its ministry. Even though many might not understand it, it is pretty similar to having breakfast or coffee and donuts after Mass or a church service to form community.

Unfortunately, it is a dying ministry at many churches, including the one I work for, due to a lack of volunteers. If you come across this at your place of worship, please sign up to volunteer if you are able. If they want something homemade over store-bought, consider making blueberry donuts, a recipe by From My Bowl.

7. French Toast Trifle

Last weekend, I went to a family reunion. It was nice because I am the family historian, and this year, they're working on updating the family tree that they last made when my mom was a kid in the 1970s.

In terms of the cuisine, my cousins made some tasty trifles for the dessert bar. Sadly, none of them were vegan, but I am excited to try this French toast trifle from My Quiet Kitchen sometime soon.

8. Blueberry Lemon Cookies

My childhood was slightly out of the ordinary because I had a stay-at-home dad who quit his job around the time I was born. That was because my mom made a lot more money as an anesthesiologist than he did as an agricultural engineer, and they had so many negative experiences of my older brother being sick at daycare that they didn't want that with me.

Even though my dad took care of the home while I was a kid, he was not a perfect baker right away. When he made his first batch of Toll House chocolate chip cookies, he took it very literally. My dad threw everything into the bowl, stirred it, plopped it on cookie sheets, and then baked it. The cookies tasted terrible and looked ugly because he didn't add the ingredients in the correct order.

The moral of the story is that if you see a fancy schmancy baker on The Great British Bake Off or a relative who creates the perfect dessert for your family gathering, they didn't get their desserts right the first time. There was a learning curve, and any great baker who claims otherwise is lying.

If you like cookies, make blueberry lemon cookies from Allergylicious.

9. Blueberry Crisp

In late spring to early summer, it's rhubarb season in Iowa. It's pretty apparent at my parents' house because my mom likes to make strawberry rhubarb crisp when it's ready to harvest.

If that's up your alley, try blueberry crisp from Shane & Simple.

😋

10. Blueberry Cream Cheese

Before I became vegan, I took food for granted. I never read nutritional labels and cared about what was in my food. That changed when I chose to stop eating animals and animal products in 2017.

One nonvegan ingredient that I discovered in many bagels is L-cysteine, which is a dough conditioner derived from human hair, hog hair, or duck feathers. The thing that confused about this was who thought that adding a little bit of human hair to your food would make it softer. It beats me.

My apologies if you lost your appetite. If you're still hungry, toast a vegan bagel and spread some dairy-free blueberry cream cheese, a recipe by The Vegan 8.

11. Blueberry Pancakes

When some of my siblings come home for the weekend or a holiday, my family likes to have a pancake brunch after Mass on Sunday. I'm pretty indifferent to this because I normally watch them eat or have a little fruit because their pancakes contain buttermilk, but it's kind of nice to spend time with them.

Don't tell them I said that or else they'll think I'm a softy. If you prefer a vegan version of this, try these blueberry pancakes from Ooh Là Là It's Vegan.

12. Lemon Blueberry Scones

Scones may seem fancy, but they're surprisingly simple to veganize. Swap dairy butter for plant-based butter and heavy cream for coconut milk or oat cream, and you'll have tender, golden scones perfect for breakfast, snack time, or even a picnic treat.

Create lemon blueberry scones with the help of Mindful Avocado.

🍋

I recommend these lemon recipes.

13. Peanut Butter Blueberry Banana Smoothie

According to my cousin and many others, smoothies are an art form. It would be nice to have enough time to decorate a smoothie bowl in the morning, but in actuality, most don't have the time to do that.

Regardless of you make smoothies pretty or not, give this peanut butter blueberry banana smoothie a chance from Ambitious Kitchen.

🥤

14. Blueberry Cobbler

Cobbler is a classic comfort dessert with roots in early American cooking, where settlers baked fruit with simple biscuit-like toppings.

The best part? It's easy to make vegan. Just swap in dairy-free butter and plant milk for a sweet, golden crust over juicy seasonal fruit.

Bake blueberry cobbler from Contentedness Cooking.

15. Blueberry Coconut Popsicles

I wish I knew the secret to perfect popsicles, but I was terrible the few times I made them. They either froze weirdly, tasted mostly like water, or split in the freezer.

I'll let Lisa from The Viet Vegan teach you how to make blueberry coconut popsicles. Let your inner child grab the wheel and enjoy the ride.

😎

Check out these popsicle recipes.

16. Earl Grey Cupcakes

A couple of Mondays a month, I go to scripture tea, which is a type of Bible study where we hang out as a group while enjoying tea. During the first half, we each share our highs and lows since we last saw each other. The second part is when we read the Sunday Gospel in a Lectio Divina. In other words, we read the passage 3 times total. The first time, we talk about what we see. The second time, we reflect on a word or phrase in the passage. The final time, we talk about what it means.

Even though I don't like tea, I enjoy the company, and I'm happy that the group leader goes out of their way to make me vegan treats, usually some sort of muffin. If you would rather have tea-flavored food over actual tea, bake Earl Grey cupcakes with the help of ShortGirlTallOrder.

🧁

Here are more cupcake recipes.

17. Blueberry Pie Cookies

Many bakers have gotten more creative over the years. Why just bake cookies or pie when you cake bake both in the same dessert?

If you want to give this a try, create blueberry pie cookies from MushroomSalus.

18. Blueberry Bagels

When I was in college, my aunt was very into Einstein Bros. Bagels and bragged about how good they were. I was at a college speech tournament at UW-Madison, and I ate lunch with my dad and brother in between rounds. I tried their spinach artichoke bagel, and it tasted horrible. The problem was most likely the artichoke, not the bagel, because I did enjoy their avocado toast on a plain bagel years later.

If you're in the mood for a tasty breakfast, bake blueberry bagels from Make It Dairy Free.

19. Blueberry Danish

Earlier this summer, my dad held his birthday party at an Amish dinner. One of the highlights for many who came to the party wasn't the meal itself. The same family who made the meal also owned a small bakery next door that sold many tasty desserts, from homemade bread to Danishes.

Make blueberry Danishes with the help of The Little Blog of Vegan.

20. Blueberry Cheesecake

Don't call cheesecake old. It's still stealing the spotlight for over 4,000 years. In face, early versions were served to athletes at the first Olympic Games in Greece in 776 BC.

Isn't it cool to be so connected to such a deliciously long history? That means you dig into this blueberry cheesecake from Choosing Chia at any age, and the only thing that'll be ancient history is the cheesecake itself.

21. Earl Grey Blueberry Tart

The humble tart has been tempting taste buds since Ancient Rome. During the Middle Ages, tarts used to be a dessert for the elite and royalty until sugar became more widely available and affordable. That was why sweet fruit tarts became popular during that time period.

Today, whether it's filled with something creamy and decadent or something fruity like this Earl Grey blueberry tart from Alphafoodie, tarts prove that simple ingredients can still make you feel like royalty.

22. Blueberry Grilled Cheese

One perk of Catholic school was we had meatless Friday all year long because during Lent, a time of preparation before Easter, we weren't allowed to eat meat on Ash Wednesday (the first day of Lent) and all Fridays during Lent.

Technically, the Catholic definition of no meat was similar to being pescatarian because we could not consume red meat or poultry, but seafood was okay. For the school, it was easier to designate all Fridays as meatless than putting Lent on the calendar every year because it started and ended on different days each year. We normally had mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce, popcorn shrimp, tuna and noodles, and grilled cheese with tomato soup, which all tasted good.

If you want to give dairy-free and meatless grilled cheese a try, make blueberry grilled cheese with the help of Wandering Chickpea.

💡

If you're open to trying more meatless dishes, check out my plant-based Lent guide and these Meatless Monday tips and tricks.

23. Blueberry Waffles

Before Covid, it was common to have week after week of church breakfasts in the area, including but not limited to pancake, create-your-own omelets, and Belgian waffle. Even though the Covid-19 pandemic is over, many of them have gone on the wayside, and I can't even enjoy them anymore because of being vegan.

On a Saturday when I have nothing going on in the morning, I need to give these blueberry waffles from Veggie World Recipes a try. I've hardly had waffles since I went vegan in 2017, and I really miss them.

24. Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

When my family had graduation parties growing up, the 2 foods that people kept coming back in line for were the hash brown casserole and the ice cream. My uncle rented one on our behalf from his county's dairy promotion program, and we had a bunch of tasty toppings, like frozen fruit, candy, and syrup.

If you like ice cream, make dairy-free blueberry cheesecake ice cream with the help of The Vegan 8.

🍦

Here are additional dairy-free ice cream recipes and my vegan ice cream guide. You might also like these plant-based grad party ideas.

25. Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls

A few falls ago, my cousin, my brother, and I had a decent time making vegan pumpkin cinnamon rolls. I've hardly had cinnamon rolls since being vegan, so it was nice to enjoy a dessert with my family again.

If you're open to trying cinnamon rolls with a fruity twist, bake blueberry cinnamon rolls from Rainbow Nourishments.

26. Blueberry Galette

Galettes are basically the carefree cousins of pies: rustic, charming, and never worried about perfect edges. Originating in France, these free-form delights let the fruit (or veggies) shine without all the fuss. Proof that messy can still be magnifique (magnificent).

Make a blueberry galette, a recipe by ElaVegan.

27. Summer Veg and Tofu Skewers

I made skewers for the first time by myself for a 4th of July party at my parents' pond. I made berry brownie skewers, and they were a hit. The main comments I noticed were that they were a darker chocolate than I expected, and the brownies fell apart a lot more than expected when they were put on skewers.

If you would rather have this as a main course, try summer veg and tofu skewers with blueberry barbecue sauce from The First Mess.

▫️

Here are more tofu recipes and additional American recipes.

28. Blueberry Sheet Pan Pancakes

If you prefer the taste of pancakes without the mess, sheet pan pancakes would be perfect for you. Besides, when they taste super good, no one is going to care if you flipped or baked them.

Create blueberry sheet pan pancakes, a recipe by Vegan Blueberry.

29. Blueberry Crumbl Cookies

When I noticed that Crumbl Cookies was going to open a store near me, I got very excited because I heard they were scrumptious. I was disappointed after they opened due to being pricey and not having vegan options.

At least I can enjoy a vegan version of blueberry Crumbl cookies, thanks to The Little Blog of Vegan.

30. Blueberry Baked Oatmeal

One way to quicken your morning routine is to meal prep your breakfast in advance on your day off or a free night. That way, breakfast is ready to go in single-serving containers. All you have to do is add some fresh fruit, and that's it.

Make blueberry baked oatmeal on your next meal prep day with the help of The Big Man's World.

31. Blueberry Salad

Something that surprised me after I went vegan was the association of vegans with salads. Many thought that since leafy greens are rabbit food, vegans must eat them all the time, with only eating plants. Others were convinced that salads were vegan-friendly because they were made of lettuce.

Unfortunately, most salads at restaurants aren't vegetarian, let alone vegan, because the majority are premade with meat, like grilled chicken or bacon. Also, even though vegans are herbivores, they eat a variety of dishes, similar to how nonvegans don't eat the same things. Therefore, not all nonvegans eat hamburgers, and not all vegans eat salads.

If you're craving a salad, toss a blueberry salad from Kathy's Vegan Kitchen.

32. Blueberry Pop-Tarts

When I was a kid, we hardly had Pop-Tarts, except when we wanted a quick breakfast while on vacation.

If you prefer them homemade, create blueberry Pop-Tarts, thanks to The Vegan Dollhouse.

33. Blueberry and Banana Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Many restaurants have loaded baked potatoes as sides, but they are missing out on a decent profit because loaded baked sweet potatoes taste so much better and tend to be healthier.

If you want to give this a try, make blueberry and banana stuffed sweet potatoes from Make It Dairy Free.

🍠

Here are more sweet potato recipes and additional banana dishes.

34. Blueberry Frozen Yogurt

After my sister's undergraduate graduation ceremony, we went out to a frozen yogurt place nearby. I tried a combo of pomegranate raspberry sorbet and vegan coconut milk froyo with berries, and that was scrumptious.

Give dairy-free blueberry frozen yogurt from Feasting on Fruit a chance, regardless of whether you consume dairy or not. The worst thing that can happen is you don't like it, but you probably will.

35. Lemon Blueberry Macarons

Classic macarons use egg whites, but vegan versions swap in aquafaba (chickpea brine). Who knew humble beans could whip up into fluffy cookie shells?

Make vegan lemon blueberry macarons with the help of Pies & Tacos.

36. Blueberry Cabbage Juice

Cabbage is like the ultimate costume-wearer of the plant world. It can crunch raw in a slaw, cozy up in a soup, ferment into tangy sauerkraut, or even be put in juices.

Create blueberry cabbage juice from Skinny Fitalicious.

🥬

Here are additional cabbage recipes.

37. Blueberry Almond Christmas Wreath

I'm a huge grinch around Christmastime. I see Christmas decorations a lot even before Halloween, let alone Thanksgiving, and Christmas music gets old by December when it starts in November in many stores.

Besides, why does it make sense to have Black Friday sales on Thanksgiving? It defeats the purpose of being grateful for what we have when we're buying a bunch of stuff we don't have on the same day.

Regardless of your thoughts on the matter, I recommend making this blueberry almond Christmas wreath for your holiday festivities with the help of Rainbow Nourishments.

🎄

38. Triple Berry Whoopie Pies

One of my favorite movies starring Whoopi Goldberg is Sister Act (1992). It's a feel-good musical comedy packed with laughter and songs that stick in your head.

Speaking of "Whoopi," let's switch from the big screen to the dessert plate because whoopie pies are just as joyful and guaranteed to bring a smile. Make triple berry Whoopie Pies from Rabbit and Wolves.

39. Blueberry Buns

Buns have been around for centuries, appearing in various forms across cultures, from fluffy bao buns in China to sweet hot cross buns in England. Whether savory or sweet, they've always been the perfect handheld comfort food.

Give blueberry buns a chance, a recipe by The Quaint Kitchen.

40. Blueberry Mochi Ice Cream

I first discovered mochi ice cream after seeing My/Mochi in Target. The non-dairy flavors are delicious, but I need to make some homemade mochi sometime.

There's no time like the present. I need to try this blueberry mochi ice cream recipe from All Purpose Veggies sometime.

41. Blueberry Brownies

When I was a kid, my parents tended to make boxed brownies for band and sports potlucks. They were cheap, quick, and tasty.

Nowadays, I prefer to make baked goods homemade over having a boxed because they taste better when they're made from scratch as long as I don't completely botch the recipe.

In terms of blueberries, bake blueberry brownies with the help of Okonomi Kitchen.

Try these brownie recipes.

42. Blueberry Snack Cake

A snack cake (or snacking cake) is a simple, one-layer cake, usually square or round, made for everyday enjoyment rather than special occasions.

Plant-based versions keep all the sweet, soft, and satisfying goodness while skipping eggs, dairy, or other animal products. Perfect for lunchboxes, afternoon treats, or a little monster-approved indulgence anytime!

Bake this blueberry snack cake from Nora Cooks.

43. Blueberry Ghost Hand Pies

Halloween is my favorite holiday. I have a dark sense of humor, and I enjoy the fall activities that go with the season, including but not limited to pumpkin carving, horror movies, hayrides, haunted houses, corn mazes, apple orchards, and fall leaf tours.

Grab some blueberries from the store and make blueberry ghost hand pies, thanks to The Little Blog of Vegan.

44. Blueberry Lemonade

Earlier this month, I went on a family vacation to Acadia National Park in Maine. While we were there, I thought we would try a decent amount of blueberry foods and beverages because Maine's state fruit is the wild blueberry.

However, we didn't have a chance to taste fresh Maine blueberries, but we did enjoy having blueberry lemonade when we went out to eat at Helen's in Ellsworth.

Make blueberry lemonade with the help of Vegan Richa.

🧳

Check out my vegan Acadia travel guide.

45. Blueberry Bars

Every morning, I usually have one energy bar with my breakfast, usually a chocolate chip or chocolate brownie Clif bar, but homemade bars tend to be healthier and have fewer preservatives.

If you want to give this a try, make blueberry bars from Healthier Steps.

46. Blueberry Blondies

If you're in the mood for a brownie but want something a little less chocolatey, blondies would be a good dessert option for you. For example, create blueberry blondies with the help of Caked by Katie.

47. Blueberry Buttermilk Buckle

A buckle is an old-fashioned American dessert that's a combination of cake and fruit crumble. It gets its name because, as it bakes, the buttery cake "buckles" under the weight of the juicy fruit topping.

Blueberry buckle is the most famous version, especially in New England, where it's a summer staple served warm with a bit of ice cream or plant-based whipped cream. If this sounds good, try blueberry buttermilk buckle from Liv B.

48. Blueberry Crumble Tiramisu

My sister-in-law's favorite dessert is tiramisu. If you like it too, make blueberry crumble tiramisu with the help of The Little Blog of Vegan.

49. Blueberry Coffee Cake

Despite the name, coffee cake isn't made with coffee (though it can be!). It's a sweet, single-layer cake—often topped with cinnamon, streusel, or nuts—meant to be enjoyed alongside your morning cup of joe.

Plant-based versions swap out butter, milk, and eggs for vegan alternatives, keeping all the cozy, crumbly goodness without any animal products. Make blueberry coffee cake with the help of Nora Cooks.

50. Stuffed French Toast with Peaches and Blueberries

This breakfast classic dates back centuries and is known by many names around the world, from eggy bread to pain perdu.

Traditionally made with eggs and milk, Andrew from Make It Dairy Free used plant-based milk, ground flaxseed, and silken tofu to make a creamy, custardy texture—just as indulgent, but 100% plant-based!

Up for the challenge? Make stuffed French toast with peaches and blueberries from Make It Dairy Free.
