Ingredients
- Butter: I use organic salted butter (always!) but especially here as it balances out the sweetness from the blueberries. You do want to ensure you're using a sweet cream butter here. I wouldn't use a cultured butter as that can be tangy, and that sour element doesn't compliment the sweet blueberries here and can make the final blueberry butter taste sour. Check out Best Salted Butter for Baking for more info on different types of butter.
- Blueberry Powder: Organic freeze-dried blueberry powder (or wild blueberry powder) provides flavor and makes this homemade butter spread a beautiful purple hue! If you use wild blueberry powder, you'll get a much darker shade of butter versus using a standard freeze-dried blueberry powder.

Tips for Blueberry Butter Spread
- I always use salted butter, if you’re using unsalted, just give it a taste to see if you want to add a pinch of salt.
- You can use another fruit powder and make strawberry, blackberry, or raspberry butter, for example!
- Be sure to store in an airtight container in the fridge.
How to Make Blueberry Butter Spread
- In a mixing bowl, add the butter and blueberry powder.
- Mix until combined and you have a smooth consistency. Then it’s ready to use! Store the mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
How to Use
Use this Blueberry Butter Spread for breakfast and brunch as a spread for toast and bagels. Add on top of pancakes, waffles, or scones. Or you can even use this as the butter for buttercream frosting or cookies!
Toast up a slice of Sourdough Discard Bread With Bone Broth or Sourdough Discard Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread, spread some blueberry butter and add our favorite jams or jellies as this tastes so delicious with many different flavors!
Try this on top of Healthy Pumpkin Waffles With Bone Broth, Eggless Banana Waffles, or Homemade Sesame Bagels. Or use this butter to make Vanilla Bean Buttercream Frosting for a blueberry vanilla frosting that is so good!
Also, try this on muffins like Blackberry Sweet Potato Muffins With Streusel Topping or Eggless Banana Raspberry Muffins.
How to Store
Be sure to store in an airtight container or butter dish. If you’re going to eat this homemade butter within a few days, you can leave it out on the counter, just like regular butter. But, otherwise, I recommend storing in the fridge for up to a week.
Recipe FAQ’s
This blueberry butter is lightly sweet with a fruity blueberry flavor, but there's no added sugar. The freeze-dried blueberries provide the sweetness and fruit flavor.
Yes, just give it a little taste to see if you want to add salt. If so, I recommend adding 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Yes, softening the butter in advance will make it easier to combine the blueberry powder.
I have not tested this with fresh blueberries, but it would not have the same flavor or consistency as you’d need a lot of blueberries for flavor and fresh blueberries have a lot of water which wouldn’t be ideal as it would change the consistency of the butter.
No, don't use frozen blueberries because this is the same as fresh. They have a high water content and it would change the consistency of the butter, making it a less than ideal texture.
Yes, you can food processor freeze-dried blueberries into a fine powder and use that.
If you are using a wild blueberry powder, you'll get a super dark, almost purple color. If you are using a classic freeze-dried blueberry powder, you will get a lighter shade. I have made this both ways, both are delicious!
Yes, you can use freeze dried strawberry powder, raspberry powder, blackberry powder, or pomegranate powder.
