You guys… THIS blueberry yogurt holds a permanent spot in my dreams. I will literally wake up and need to make it immediately — usually while standing (okay, slouched) over the counter by my coffee pot, waiting way too long for that first cup to brew.

Here’s the thing — this blueberry sauce/compote/purée situation is absolutely swoon-worthy. I could (and have) eaten it straight from the saucepan.

Now, I know what might be holding you back — the extra 10 minutes of simmering and one more dish to clean. I get it. Sometimes I take the shortcut (directions below)… but I’m always just a little disappointed. It’s good, just not this good.

To make it, simply add blueberries to a saucepan with a splash of water, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a touch of vanilla. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, then give it a quick blend. That’s it — you’ve got the most magical blueberry sauce ready to go.

I like to store it in the fridge and swirl it into yogurt whenever we need it.

My kids love this blueberry yogurt packed into their lunches with a banana muffin, a hard-boiled egg, and a little granola or cereal on top for crunch.

Fair warning, though — once you make this, plain yogurt might never cut it again. You’ve been warned 😉

Time-Saving Tip: While we love making this recipe using simmered blueberries, if you are short on time, you can simply blend frozen and thawed blueberries (and their juices) with vanilla extract and maple syrup until smooth. Then add to the yogurt and serve.

  1. Gather your ingredients – frozen (or fresh) blueberries, maple syrup, vanilla extract and the yogurt.
  2. Place the blueberries, water, and vanilla extract into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes or until soft and broken down. Stir in the maple syrup. Let cool slightly.
  3. With an immersion blender, or transfer the blueberries to a blender or food processor, puree for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  4. Spoon into yogurt and serve.

Notes

Age: 6+ months
Storage: This blueberry yogurt can be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can freeze the blueberry puree for up to 4 months. Then you can defrost and add it to yogurt whenever you wish to serve this recipe. 
Note on Blueberries: if using frozen blueberries, there is no need to thaw them before cooking in this recipe.
Time-Saving Tip: While we love making this recipe using simmered blueberries, if you are short on time, you can simply blend frozen and thawed blueberries (and their juices) with vanilla extract and maple syrup until smooth. Then add to the yogurt and serve.
Recipe Tips:
  • Mix this blueberry puree with Greek yogurt for easier eating – Greek yogurt is slightly thicker than standard yogurt, which can be helpful for babies starting solids because it sticks a little more to spoons and fingers.
  • Make it worth your time – this recipe can easily be doubled to make enough for the whole family and to freeze for later!
  • Use leftover puree in other recipes – if you’ve got a picky eater, don’t stop with mixing this puree into just yogurt. Plan out other opportunities for gradual exposures to blueberry by adding this puree to pancakes, baked goods, oatmeal, or smoothies. Creating more exposures will help your picky eater become more familiar with the flavor, and often increases the chances they will like it!
