We have always loved the Robert McClosky book, Blueberries for Sal, when my oldest kids were younger we would eat our favorite blueberry recipes while reading the book.  Now, years later, with my youngest, we incorporate books into our Poetry Tea Time so delicious foods we can make with blueberries are always welcomed. I especially love making blueberry cheesecake jars to take outdoors for a book picnic.

Blueberries for Sal canning blueberries

I always wanted to can blueberries like Sal’s mom did in Blueberries for Sal, so when I finally got some canning products, that’s exactly what I did. If you’re looking for yummy recipes you can incorporate into reading Blueberries for Sal, this list will get you started. It features some treats the kids can make with you and kid-friendly blueberry recipes that you can incorporate when teaching cooking in your homeschool. 

Easy No-Bake Kid-Friendly Blueberry Recipes

No-Bake Patriotic Cheesecake Bites from Melissa at Outnumbered Three to One are an easy and delicious Summertime. The Nilla Wafer “crust’ makes them easy and fun for kids to create on their own.  

Lisa over at The Crunchy Sailors Wife creates a fun Red, White, and Blue Charcuterie Board. It includes blueberries, cheeses, crackers, and a bunch more. This would be a great homeschool lunch during an American Government or homeschool history unit study. Lisa is a homeschooling mom of two boys who enjoy being in the kitchen cooking and creating. 

This Blueberry Yogurt Tartlets recipe are another fun kid-friendly activity that uses phyllo dough and yogurt.

Gwynne from Swirls of Flavor shares these  Triple Citrus Frozen Blueberry Yogurt Cups that are sure to cool you off on a hot, Summer day. 

Recreate the indulgent flavors of blueberry cheesecake without the guilt with this Weight Watchers Blueberry Frozen Yogurt bark. Michele from Midlife Healthy Living suggests adding in any of your favorite ingredients like chocolate, nuts, or other types of berries. 

My 21-year-old is the master of the mug cake! She’ll throw ingredients into a mug and come up with something amazing every single time. That’s why I was excited to share with her this Blueberry Mug Cake with Lemon Glaze from Gwynn at Swirls of Flavor! It gets HOT here in Charleston, South Carolina. I know this mug cake is going to be on regular rotation this blueberry season. 

Baked Blueberry Recipes To Make 

Dawn has a super-easy dessert to make that would be perfect if you’re trying to teach cooking in your homeschool. This Mixed Berry Cake uses simple ingredients, mixes up quickly, and is a delicious, light and refreshing Summer afternoon dessert. 

So, I learned something new today. I mean, as homeschoolers this isn’t news for sure. We all know that each day brings with it new opportunities and knowledge. Today, I learned that an Envy apple is a cross between a Royal Gala and a Braeburn apple. Anyway, this Envy Apple and Blueberry Baked Oatmeal is a warm and hearty breakfast that will get your homeschool day started off on the right foot. 

You really can’t go wrong with Homemade Blueberry Muffins; this quick recipe is perfect when you’re baking with kids because it mixes and bakes up pretty fast. Try it during Poetry Tea Time or while you’re reading If You Give a Moose a Muffin!  

Blueberris for Sal Blueberry Muffins

There’s just something about sweet treats baked in a cast-iron skillet. This Blueberry Coffee Cake With Streusel is a great recipe to make with kids because you just dump in the ingredients and bake it. Your family will love it as a sweet afternoon treat or warming breakfast on a cool morning. 

Baked Blueberry Oatmeal

We have a pretty relaxed homeschool with no set schedules. We do, however, have mornings where we have to be at homeschool co-op fairly early. It’s hard coming up with a variety of breakfast ideas for my super-picky eater. I like to try different things to serve him in the morning. These Oatmeal Blueberry Bars are the perfect on-the-go breakfast, as long as you’re cool with a little blueberry here and there in your car. 

This next recipe has a funny name that is sure to garner a giggle. I actually think this recipe name would make for a really cute children’s picture book title. Laura from Little House, Big Alaska shares this Blueberry Grunt recipe – she says it’s almost like a cobbler, but kind of like a buckle. Whatever you want to call it, it’s definitely worth trying!

For years I wanted to buy the Wilton 6-cavity donut baking pan. I used to look at it longingly online and think, but never thought I’d actually make any, so I never did put it in my cart. During the height of Quarantine 2020, they somehow found their way to my front door via Amazon. I’ve been baking donuts regularly since. These Whole Wheat Baked Blueberry Donuts are perfect, especially if you can’t decide between a muffin or a donut. Why not both? 

Finally, if you’re looking for a fun Summer Poetry Tea Time beverage, this Strawberry Lemonade with Blueberries makes for a refreshing treat.

Meet Marie

Hey, I’m Marie, a veteran homeschooling mom of four and a professional freelance writer.

The idea of homeschool for our family is that it is a lifestyle, not just an education at home.

Everything that we do, every choice we make and even the vacations that we take have elements of learning weaved in.

As life-long learners of all ages, we embrace the homeschool lifestyle as a way of living, doing, and being rather than a block of tasks and activities each day.
