These Blueberry Lemon Breakfast Bites are the perfect early morning on-the-go treat!
Hellloo friends!
We’re just days away from the unofficial start to summer, Memorial Day weekend. I’m so excited! Aren’t you?
It’ll be time to take a breather from those busy, early mornings running for the school bus and doing homework til all hours. Yahoo!
I’m sure some of you already have activities and trips planned with the fam, so I’ve been working on a few tasty breakfast items tailored to summer with on-the-go ease!
First off, these Blueberry Lemon Breakfast Bites.
The blueberry lemon combination has always been one of my faves.
You’ll only need a handful of ingredients for these bites and I guarantee everyone will love them, even the pickiest of the kiddos!
They’ve got a base of finely ground almonds, double the lemon flavor, juice and zest , they’re sweetened with maple syrup and packed with dried blueberries.
And since they’re no bake, even the kids could help whip these up! Enjoy!
If you’re looking for other on-the-go breakfast bites, try my Chocolate Espresso Almond Energy Bites, they’re totally delish!
A Few Cook’s Notes for Blueberry Lemon Breakfast Bites Recipe:
I love the blueberry lemon combination, but you could also swap out the lemon juice and zest for orange juice and zest and swap the blueberries for cranberries. Both versions are equally delicious.

Blueberry and lemon is a flavour combo that reminds me of spring! Love that these are easy to whip together, and I can totally see me swapping in the orange and cranberries as you suggested! In Canada, it’s our Victoria Day long weekend this weekend, which is our unofficial start to summer! Here’s hoping the weather cooperates and it actually feels like summer (or at least spring!). Happy almost weekend Mary Ann!
