Chocolate + peanut butter (like in our flourless peanut butter chocolate cake), tomato + basil (like in classic tomato basil soup), apple + cinnamon (like in our cinnamon apple cake)…we're ALL about classic flavor combos. One of our absolute favorites, especially come spring? Lemon and blueberry! The juicy sweetness of blueberries is amplified by the tart zing of the citrus, and we really can’t get enough. Check out our 33 blueberry lemon recipes for ideas—you’ll want to make them ALL before summer ends.

The best part? You can enjoy this perfect flavor combo from morning till night, from breakfast to dessert. We’ll admit, none of our blueberry lemon ideas are simple, last-minute affairs, but trust us, they’re all worth the effort. For something a little more straight-forward, though, try our blueberry-lemon ricotta stuffed French toast (easier than it sounds, we swear!), our blueberry-lemon buttermilk scones, or one of our sweet quick breads, like our lemon-blueberry pound cake or our lemon blueberry bread (the color of the glaze will blow your mind).

Looking to impress over brunch? Try our lemon blueberry dutch baby, our lemon blueberry babka, or our blueberry lemon shortcake (trust us, and make the lemon curd for some of these ahead of time). Want an easy afternoon sweet tart treat, or something portable you can share with friends and family? Try our blueberry-lemon pie bars, our lemon blueberry mini cheesecakes, or our blueberry cream cheese cookies (they’re all huge hits as bake sale desserts).

Have a special occasion to celebrate? Try our lemon blueberry poke cake (super easy thanks to boxed cake mix), our blueberry mousse cake, our lemon blueberry layer cake, or our blueberry-lemon upside-down cake. You really can’t go wrong with a lemon and blueberry dessert—it’s a flavor combo almost everyone can get down on.

Inspired by our love of lemon blueberry margs, this brightly colored daiquiri has major springtime vibes.
