This is the type of recipe you make for your baby but end up eating yourself. It’s just that good! Roasting the blueberries is key to getting a deep rich blueberry flavor that highlights their natural sweetness while keeping their crisp taste. It does require you to turn on your oven, which can be a deterrent in the hot summer months, but it is well worth it.
