This Healthy Blueberry Compote Topping recipe is sweet and BURSTING with bright and fresh blueberry flavor, yet it’s secretly refined sugar free, fat free, gluten free, and vegan!
I could top just about anything with a good jam, and the same goes with fresh fruit and fruit compotes. I chose to make this Healthy Blueberry Compote Topping because I luurrrvvv me some blueberries. They’re like perfect little spheres of sweet, candy-like fruit.
I also decided to make this recipe because I’ve been making my Banana Buckwheat Pancakes a lot lately and I ran out of pure maple syrup. And this Blueberry Compote? It’s PERFECT on top of those pancakes. Especially with a little drizzle of Sugar-Free Vanilla Bean Syrup.
Together, they make for a devilishly good breakfast… and snack and maybe even dinner too…
