Blueberry

You don’t need a mixer for this cake, and when you slice into it, you’ll be greeted with a surprise: bold stripes of bright blueberry filling.

These berries don’t need much cooking time to stew down. However, you can change the fruits to apples, pears or even quinces and cook them in the slow cooker on low for about 5 hours. Let the slow cooker revolution continue! Best way forward for this brekky is to cook the fruit (frozen works well, too) and oats in batches so you have enough to last you throughout the week.

Wild blueberries are small and flavorful, and the little bit of almond in the topping of this blueberry pie amps up their flavor even more.

This is a quick and easy breakfast to have ready to go, after jump-starting your day with a morning workout.

I have lots of people asking me to create gluten-free recipes that do not just rely on the gluten-free flour that can be found in the shops. I have experimented with almond flour (ground almonds), but find that the resulting bakes can be quite heavy, which does not suit all baked goods, and also highly calorific. So while I use ground almonds in some things, I do like to use oats in others. The cinnamon in this recipe adds a lovely taste to the blueberries, as well as helping regulate blood sugar levels.

Juicy wild blueberries and a subtle sweetness from the mint pair well with the vegetal taste of greens in this aromatic smoothie.

Tart kiwi and sweet blueberries make a unique salsa to dress your basic pork loin. This is a leaner cut of pork, so be sure not to overcook it; you can test the meat by slicing it with a paring knife or using an instant-read thermometer, which should register 145ºF.

WARNING: This French toast is wickedly indulgent. Enjoy it for breakfast on special occasions, although it’s probably better suited to a decadent dessert. Either way, it’s freaking tasty!

Just dump, shake, and bake this super tasty, couldn't-be-easier dessert. It's even better when made with our Homemade Yellow Cake Mix .

An addition of cornmeal gives these bars a sandy, crunchy, slightly savory crust that’s perfectly complemented by tart lime curd and sweet blueberry glaze.

These muffins are a clone of "The Famous Jordan Marsh Blueberry Muffins"—which were indeed famous up until the mid-1990s, when Jordan's, one of Boston's two iconic department stores (Filene's being the other) was absorbed by Macy's and effectively disappeared. These overstuffed muffins, with their signature sugary crown, were served in the Jordan Marsh dining room on the top floor of the store, where dedicated shoppers went to rest and compare purchases while sipping tea and enjoying a muffin—blueberry, of course.

We doubt you'll have any leftovers from this homey blueberry cake crowned by a buttery, brown-sugar-sweetened streusel topping, but if you do, it will make a fabulous companion to your morning coffee.

It takes some practice to produce a beautifully crimped pie crust, but galettes? Not so much: The more rustic they look, the better.

This vibrant smoothie is full of vitamins and antioxidants.

This not-too-sweet loaf would also make amazing French toast.
