Updated on March 13, 2023
When you think of berry-based desserts, blackberries might not be the first thing that comes to mind. Many people get distracted by stawberries or raspberries unless they’re thinking of blackberry jam. If you ask us, however, skipping over the blackberries means you’re sorely missing out!
Check out these 15 amazingly delicious blackberry dessert recipes that will make sure you never skip out on the blackberries again!
1. Blackberry ginger bars
Blackberries and ginger make a combination that is both fragrant and flavourful. Putting that filling into these oatmeal bars keeps things slightly n the healthy side, as far as baked goods are concerned! See the recipe on Driscoll’s.
2. Blackberry and apple oaty flapjacks
Do you like the idea of oats and blackberries in one place but not the inclusion of ginger? That’s okay, it’s not for everyone. We bet you’d prefer this blackberry and apple recipe from Good to Know instead!
3. Blackberry pie bars
Do you ever look at the delicious piece of pie on your plate and think about how you can’t wait to tuck in, but how people almost always cut the slices too big, especially after a huge dinner? Try serving your guests these little blackberry pie bars instead! Everyone will get a little portion baked in delicious pie crust and if one bar isn’t enough, they can always go back for more. Buttercreek Mill shows you how they’re done.

If you’re a pie fan but you’ve never had a galette before, this recipe from Nosh On It is about to rock your world. often called the “lazy pie”, a galette is a free form pie made from willing and crust. It looks a little bit like a dessert pizza, but this blackberry version has our sweet tooth ready to go.
