Nothing will level up a breakfast or brunch menu quite like this maple syrup bursting with blueberry goodness! Blueberries are considered a superfood, and for good reason. They are low in calories and loaded with fiber, antioxidants and flavonoids! So besides being amazingly flavorful, mixing them in with your usual maple syrup is a no-brainer for the myriad of health benefits.
This blueberry syrup so luxurious and sweet, you’ll want to slather it on everything! And believe me, it tastes better than anything you can buy at the store. And considering how quick and easy it is to make, you might never buy pre-flavored syrup again!
Ingredients for Blueberry Maple Syrup
- Fresh blueberries: These berries grow best from late May through mid-August, but they can be found in almost any grocery store any time of the year. Though fresh is best for this recipe, frozen berries will do in a pinch!
- Maple syrup: It’s my go-to pancake topping! You only need 2 to 3 tablespoons in this recipe. You can use Golden, Amber, Dark, and Very Dark – whatever you have! Just remember, the darker the color, the richer the taste is.
How to Make Blueberry Maple Syrup in 2 Minutes!
Step 1: First, in a small saucepan, combine blueberries and maple syrup. Then, cook for 1 minute over medium heat or until blueberries soften and release their juices.
Step 2: Next, if desired, lightly mash. Finally, pour over waffles or pancakes of choice.
Toni’s Tips, Add-Ons, and Substitutions
- Look for sweet blueberries: Blueberries are generally sweet, but there are a few sour ones. So, when picking blueberries for this dish, pay attention to the plumpness and color. The softer and darker they are, the sweeter they become. They’re sour if they’re still too firm and are reddish in color.
- Do not overcook the syrup: Do not overcook the blueberry maple syrup, or it will acquire a bitter taste and will crystalize.
- Try other fruit: To make a variety of fruity maple syrups, you can combine or replace the blueberries in this recipe with raspberries, strawberries, or other fruits and berries that you like that are in season.
- Add flavor: A dash of vanilla extract and lemon juice will elevate the flavors even more.
- Prep ahead: You can make this recipe ahead of time, and it can easily be doubled or tripled. Once you have tried it, it will make sense for you to stock up!
FAQs
If you want your syrup to be thicker, heat it longer to allow more of the water to evaporate. Or you can add more maple syrup to thicken it.
Don’t fret. You can easily thin it out by adding a splash of water and stirring until you get the perfect consistency you are looking for.
Agave, brown rice syrup, or brown sugar can be a good substitute for maple syrup.
Absolutely! They are actually ideal for this recipe because they are easier to soften and mash. So do not let them go to waste.
Serving Suggestions:

Doesn’t this usually have some lemon juice in it?
You can add some if you’d like! 🙂
I use this for my ice blueberry London fog tea.
That sounds amazing! So glad you’re enjoying it!
Very good, but this is a compote, not a syrup. Syrup doesn’t have chunks of fruit in it.
You can blend it and it will be syrup. 🙂
Definitely going to try this with tomorrow’s breakfast. Great idea!
Such an incredible recipe!
Ohhh yes, making this tonight!!
A new staple in our house! We love maple syrup and this recipe just takes it up another notch of deliciousness 😀
