18 Fresh Vegan Blueberry Recipes

You know how it is—you buy a big container of blueberries with the best intentions, and then you need to use them up before they turn. That’s my story every summer. I’ve found that the best way is to bake them into something simple, blend them into a drink, or just toss them fresh into a salad.

Their sweet-tart taste works in so many things. These recipes are my solution for turning a pint of blueberries into a good meal or snack without much work.

They’re the ones I make over and over when berries are in season. Here are 18 fresh vegan blueberry recipes to try.
