Delicious Summer Dessert Recipes


Did you know it’s National Underwear Day?

I’m not sure what you’re supposed to do with that information, but I thought I’d tell ya anyway.

Luckily for you, National Underwear Day isn’t incorporated into the theme of today’s post. (Unless you want to make some Fruit of the Loom connection. But that’s a stretch.) Instead, the post highlights a few of my favorite summer-fruit recipes. Such as: 

blueberry-m

Blueberry Pie Pancakes

Also known as the fattest pancakes ever. The recipe works with strawberries, too.

breakfastcobbler

Peach Breakfast Bake

So healthy you can have two bowls. For breakfast. Or maybe even dinner.

cherries1

Buttery Berry Crumble Bars

Recommended for parties or school lunches. Yeah, school lunches. Summer can’t last forever.

watermelon3

Watermelon Ice Cream

This is even more delicious if you substitute honeydew for the watermelon!

oat-parfait

Lavender Cream Parfait

Also known as the “love potion.”

sberry-cake1

Single-Serving Strawberry Shortcakes

I think strawberries are one of the prettiest summer fruits. Especially when they’re chocolate-covered strawberries. Just thought I’d throw that out there. 

Question of the Day:

What are your favorite summer fruits?

Blueberries? Raspberries? Honeydew?

New Larabar Flavor Alert!!

Has anyone seen the Chocolate-Chip Cherry Torte Larabars yet?  Giveaway coming soon ;).

    I love too many fruits! I love raspberries, strawberries, and cherries for summer.

    I really want to try those blueberry pie pancakes but substitute with strawberries or raspberries…. 🙂

    It all looks so delicious!! I think Saskatoon berries are my favourite, although any berry will do. 🙂

      I don’t think I’ve ever had those! I don’t even know what they look like!

        People keep telling me that. They’re super yummy, like blueberries yet not as sweet. We have three buskes of them in our garden and at the lake lot we pick them by the bucket-full from wild bushes. Mmmm….. Here’s the Wikipedia link:

    chocolate chip cherry torte sounds awesome!
    I made blueberry pie pancakes for breakfast this morning. They were super fat and so delicious! I was suprised at how well they came out – with GF flour, you never know what you’re gonna get, but they were perfect! xo

      I’m so glad! I definitely need more practice when it comes to gluten-free baking.
