Recently I discovered my love for blueberries and peanut butter. Really, I love anything with peanut butter, especially chocolate, but the combination of blueberries and peanut butter is taking a new place in my heart.
One of my favorite snacks is a cup of fresh juicy blueberries topped with a spoonful of peanut butter. Sometimes I warm it up so the blueberries burst and the peanut butter melts all over them. Think it sounds weird? Try it. The other thing I like to do is top toast with peanut butter and blueberries. This is so much better than peanut butter and jelly!
Unfortunately, until summer starts, it is hard to find good fresh blueberries that don’t cost a gazillion dollars. To satisfy my cravings, I made a batch of Blueberry Peanut Butter.
This peanut butter is healthy but creamy and delicious with a wonderful blueberry flavor. You could put it on a sandwich but I have to admit I’ve been eating it by the spoonful straight out of the jar.
Making your own peanut butter could not be easier. All you have to do is run the ingredients through a food processor.

Wow! I need to get a food processor so I can make this!! LOL
Sounds weird, but I trust you. And I love that you’re cooking with chia seeds! I just discovered them too!
Hmm, I just have to see if dried blueberries can be found in my town (forget chia seeds). Looks like a terrific addition to peanut butter though.
I like to combine stressful days of staring at the computer with my peanut butter!
I found the dried blueberries at Trader Joe’s. lol peanut butter does make stressful days better!
Ack, the nearest Trader Joe’s is two hours away and I’ve never been!
Perhaps I should just build a dehydrator and make my own
That would be fun! Looks like amazon has a bunch of options, too.
that sounds delicious – throw in some chocolate too!
I would never think to throw these flavors togther. Great recipe!
how unique! thanks for sharing : j
I’ve never thought to combine blueberries and peanut butter before, but this is a definite must try! How creative
I like anything with peanut butter. I’m thinking of using your recipe to make white chocolate blueberry peanut butter. Yum!
lurveeeee
On my list to try! Looks interesting!
Wow, just wow! Brilliant!
LOVE this idea!!!
Blueberry PB sounds like such a fun dip!
I never would have thought to put blueberries with peanut butter! I always think of bananas. I will definitely try this combo! And I can’t wait for summer fruits/berries either
I’m not gana lie. I read the title and thought, huh?? But then I put all the ingredients in my mouth, and it worked. I literally put a blueberry in my mouth and peanutbutter. Genius!
Yes!! So glad you liked the combo:-)
Chia seeds? I’ve never cooked with them. Now I’m intrigued. I’ve made plain ol’ peanut butter in the food processor, but never added such yummy ingredients. What a great idea! I love apple slices with peanut butter; this would be even better.
Awesome! I love blueberries and chocolate together and I bet I’d love blueberries and peanut butter too
Great idea!
Such a fabulous idea!! You are so creative
What a great idea! I’d love some of this swirled into ice cream
oh good idea!
Blueberry peanut butter sounds so different, yet I really want to try some! Great idea, Lauren!
I need to seriously get a food processor asap! This looks delicious
What a creative idea, looks amazing, and chalk full of antioxidents!
This sounds really interesting and since I love blueberry preserves in my PB&J sandwiches, I’m betting I’d love this too!
oh this sounds amazing! what a great idea!
Hi Lauren! wow your blog is so cute and just awesome! Oh no you didn’t~this combination looks amazing. great job!
Thanks, Ellie!
Love the idea! I would never have thought to combine blueberries with peanut butter…!
This is a seriously awesome combination! I’ve only made very basic PB at home before but I think it’s time to start experimenting with flavors. The only thing that “might” make this better…is white chocolate added in.
I’ve never combined peanut butter and blueberries. I have to admit it sounds a little strange but I’m still willing to give a try sometime! Lately I’ve been combining peanut butter with coconut butter. Love it!
Blueberry peanut butter? How odd. But I like I odd and different, and I’m quite sure I’d love this! I have some dried blueberries but right now they’re mixed in a jar with some dried cherries and cranberries. I’ll have to buy some dried blueberries just so I can make this. I can’t wait!
Cool combination. Funnily enough I just posted a nut butter recipe myself but am interested in the addition of fruit.
This sounds so interesting! I guess I’ve never really thought about a peanut butter-fruit combination, but this sounds really yummy
That is such a cool idea! I really want to try that
