Blueberries are little spheres of joy. Not only do they taste good but they are absolutely stuffed full of goodness.

A true superfood.

They have one of the highest antioxidant capacities of all fruits. These antioxidants help to neutralize free radicals linked to the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease and many other age related conditions. They have also been shown to improve eye health, memory and blood sugar regulation.

So eat more blueberries guys!

A reader reached out to me last week asking if I had any blueberry recipes and I was surprised to find that I didn’t and promised her that I would come up with something new which featured blueberries.

And that is how Blueberry Breakfast Bites came about.

These Blueberry Breakfast Bites are

fruity

coconutty (is that a word?)

oaty

healthy

and stuffed full of blueberry goodness.

They are also super easy to make and come together from start to finish in under half an hour. They keep well in the fridge and can also be frozen, a good option if you think you might be tempted to eat them all at once!

If you are like me and can’t get enough of blueberries this Summer then check out my Lemon & Blueberry Cornmeal Muffins and my Blueberry Sauce With Lavender.

  5. If “coconutty” isn’t a word, it definitely should be. Looks delicious! And a great blueberry recipe to add to your collection 🙂

    I don’t have very many berry recipes– because I am living in Asia, and they are prohibitively expensive. I buy them once in a while, but to do anything other than eat them plain would be a travesty with how few I get 🙁

    • Thanks Michelle! I had never considered there being a lack of berries in Asia. Interesting…. I feel a bit sorry for you now!

  14. Melanie! Levan here. 🙂 THESE Blueberry Breakfast Bites should be called Blueberry ‘EAT EVERY TIME OF THE DAY’ Bites, cause that’s what I would do with them. Gorgeous photos, gorgeous recipe, by an amazing food blogger! Thanks for sharing!!

    • Such kind words….you’ve made me blush!
      And that is kind of what has happened to them the last couple of times I made them…hence the salad posted today as damage recovery!

  16. I’m a fan of anything I can stuff right into my face in the morning. So these fit the bill 😉 Plus I always feel like blueberries are the epitome of a breakfast fruit. Besides bananas. Can’t go a day without one of those too.
