This small but nutritious ingredient has been adored by EatingWell readers for years, and we’ve gathered the top-performing recipes you won't want to miss out on. Recipes like our Lemon-Blueberry Cheesecake Bars and High-Protein Lemon Blueberry Muffins are sure to bring a burst of blueberry joy to your table. 01 of 20 Lemon-Blueberry Overnight Oats Rachel Marek, Food stylist: Holly Dreesman These lemon-blueberry overnight oats are layered with creamy oats and a sweet blueberry syrup, with a garnish of fresh blueberries and lemon zest to bring the flavors together. Frozen blueberries work well too, but to get the right texture for the syrup you will need to use 2¼ cups frozen blueberries, 3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons maple syrup and 1½ tablespoons lemon juice. View Recipe 02 of 20 Lemon-Blueberry Cheesecake Bars These lemon-blueberry cheesecake bars feature the rich, creamy flavor of cheesecake without the fuss. A thin layer of cheesecake flavored with lemon surrounds a mound of fresh blueberries bursting with sweet fruity flavor. You can use this easy recipe as a template, easily swapping out the blueberries for another berry or chopped fruit. Lime zest and juice can be used in place of lemon. View Recipe 03 of 20 High-Protein Lemon-Blueberry Muffins Photographer: Morgan Hunt Glaze, Prop Stylist: Josh Hoggle, Food Stylist: Julia Levy These lemon-blueberry muffins are so good, you'll think they came straight from a bakery. A sprinkle of sugar creates a nice crunch on the outside, while strained yogurt ensures the muffins stay moist on the inside. The yogurt also provides a boost of satisfying protein, making these muffins perfect for breakfast or snack time. If using frozen blueberries, there's no need to thaw them beforehand. They will add a purple hue to the batter, but it won't affect the delicious end result.

Serve with brunch or alongside a cup of coffee in the afternoon.
