Blueberries: Go for frozen blueberries to make a thick blueberry sauce. You can also use fresh blueberries, especially during summer when it’s blueberry season. Just make sure to rinse them gently before cooking.
Sugar: Any basic granulated sugar will work, but you could also experiment with alternatives like coconut sugar for a slightly different flavor.
Cornstarch: You’ll want pure cornstarch without any added chemicals or anti-caking agents for the best results. Once you buy it, store it in a cool, dry place to keep it fresh.
Toast: A nice crusty sourdough is perfect however, choose your favorite type of bread to make your toast.
Greek yogurt: Opt for plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt for a creamy, tangy contrast to the sweetness of the blueberries. If you’re more into fruity yogurt, you can also use blueberry-flavored yogurt.
Honey: Choose raw or local honey for a richer, more complex flavor. Any honey will work, though, so feel free to use what you have.

Before You Get Started

No need to thaw your frozen blueberries to room temperature. Just toss them directly into the pan for the sauce.
Pre-measure your sugar and cornstarch before you start cooking. If you buy a whole loaf of bread, go ahead and slice a few pieces and get them ready to go in the toaster.

How To Make Homemade Blueberry Sauce

Step 1: Cook The Blueberries With Sugar And Cornstarch

Start by adding your frozen blueberries and sugar to a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally as the blueberries release their juices and the sugar dissolves, cooking for about 2-3 minutes. While that’s happening, mix cornstarch with cold water in a jar and shake until smooth.

Once the blueberries are bubbling, pour in the cornstarch slurry and stir for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to a jam-like consistency. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool for 5 minutes to set. It will continue to thicken as it cools.

Step 2: Prepare The Toast

While your homemade blueberry sauce recipe is cooling, toast your sourdough bread. Place the slices in your toaster and set the toaster to your preferred setting (light or dark toast). Toast the bread for about 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Pro Tip: Let your toasted bread cool slightly before adding your toppings. It’s an easy way to prevent your toppings from melting or sliding off the bread.

Step 3: Spread With Yogurt

Spread a thick layer of Greek yogurt over each slice of toast. Don’t be shy with it because this is your creamy base that balances the sweet blueberries. It’s like the perfect cozy pillow for your fruit.

Step 4: Add The Blueberry Sauce And Honey

Now, grab that delicious blueberry sauce and spoon it generously on top of your yogurt-covered toast. Make sure to get a nice, even layer so every bite has that sweet, juicy blueberry goodness.

To give that extra touch of sweetness, drizzle honey over the blueberries. It adds that perfect final touch and really elevates the flavors. And just like that, you’ve got a warm, comforting breakfast that’s ready to enjoy!

Tips and Variations

Swap out the sourdough bread for a gluten-free version. There are great gluten-free sourdough breads available, or you can use any gluten-free bread you love.
For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt, and ensure your bread is dairy-free as well.
To make it low-sugar, cut back on the sugar in the blueberry sauce or use a sugar alternative like stevia.
Sprinkle some chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra flavor.
Add a dash of ground cinnamon in the blueberry sauce to add a cozy, spiced note.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh blueberries to make blueberry sauce?

Yes! Fresh blueberries work just as well as frozen in homemade blueberry sauce. Since fresh berries contain less moisture than frozen ones, you may need to add a tablespoon of water or two while cooking to achieve the perfect consistency. Fresh blueberries also cook down a little faster, so keep an eye on the sauce as it simmers.
