Air fryer chickpeas! If you love oven roasted chickpeas, get ready: these air fryer chickpeas are even better. I’ve been making them on repeat lately. Here’s why: They’re ready in 15 minutes. Roasting chickpeas in the air fryer is about twice as fast as making roasted chickpeas in the oven. Bonus: the air fryer preheats in no time! They’re INSANELY crunchy. Expect to eat a few (erm…half) straight from the air fryer basket. They’re irresistible! I love sprinkling these crispy chickpeas over salads and grain bowls. Filled with fiber and plant-based protein, they’re also a delicious healthy snack! Season them simply with […]

Strawberry and guava come together in one fruit-packed preserve that’s bright, fruity, and vibrant, with a perfect amount of sugar and plenty of acid to make the flavors pop.
The unique pairing of strawberry and guava makes for a truly memorable jam, whether you can it in a water bath for shelf-stable storage, or store it in the fridge or freezer for short term satisfaction (or, you know, eat it by the spoonful straight out of the pot).
Multi-fruit jams are… well, my jam.
Single fruit jams are just so… boring. If you know me, you know I love unique flavor combinations, especially when it comes to my jam recipes. Whether it is the addition of an unexpected flavor, like hibiscus or vanilla bean, basil or even chocolate, a splash of something boozy like limoncello, bourbon or gin, or a hint of heat from habanero or jalapeño.
But listen, this strawberry and guava jam might just be my favorite fruity combination yet.
Pink guavas have a sweet, musky fragrance with tropical notes of papaya, melon, strawberry and ripe pear… and even a little bit of bubblegum if we’re being honest. Paired with the bright berry flavor of the strawberry the combination is almost candy-like, sweet and bright with the perfect amount of acidity to balance out the sweetness.
This Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri is what summer dreams are made of. Made with real strawberries, homemade simple syrup, white rum, and fresh lime juice, anyone can make this classic daiquiri cocktail recipe! No triple sec, limeade concentrate, or orange liqueur required.

If you’re hosting a pool party or simply planning on sitting poolside all summer, this stunning strawberry recipe is the perfect hot summer day companion. It’s a fun homemade beverage that you can whip up with just a few simple ingredients and a powerful blender, yet it will impress any guest!
Make enough for just 1 or 2, or blitz together a full blender’s worth to serve a crowd. No one will complain with this boozy, refreshing slushy in hand!
Ingredients You’ll Need
Ice: If you have the option, crushed ice or nugget ice cubes are better than regular ice from ice cube trays or standard fridge ice cubes. They blend faster, resulting in a smoother, more uniform slushy texture.
Strawberries: For the best consistency, we recommend using a mix of fresh and frozen strawberries. If you only have fresh strawberries on hand, freeze 1/2 cup 2-3 hours ahead of time.
White rum (light rum): The classic choice in any daiquiri recipe! Bacardi and Havana Club are our top choices.
Simple syrup: Either regular simple syrup or strawberry simple syrup works well in this frozen cocktail. We highly recommend making one of our homemade recipes—it’s so simple!
Lime juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice adds a nice acidity and brightness that balances the sweetness in the fresh fruit and simple syrup. For the best flavor, fresh lime juice is highly recommended over bottled.
Blend until smooth. Pulse the blender until thoroughly blended and a slushy-like consistency.
Adjust to taste. Taste the strawberry daiquiri and adjust to taste. If you want it a bit sweeter, add additional simple syrup. If you want it a bit stronger, add additional white rum.
Serve immediately. Pour the frozen daiquiri into your favorite coupe, martini, or margarita glass. Garnish with lime slices and a fresh strawberry, and enjoy immediately with the perfect slushy consistency!
Recipe FAQs
Can I make this cocktail in a food processor?
A food processor is the next best thing if you do not have a high-speed blender or a blender strong enough to break down ice into a slushy texture. For best results, use a large cup food processor. Mini-food processors are not ideal and are likely to overflow.
Can I make this recipe a virgin daiquiri?
We haven’t tested a virgin version of this frozen cocktail, but if you’d like to try one, blend the ingredients together without the rum. Then, when the daiquiri mix has a slushy texture, stir in either lemon-lime soda or lime seltzer. Alternatively, you might enjoy this Strawberry Mojito Mocktail instead!
Will this homemade strawberry daiquiri work with dark rum?
We find that a light rum is the best rum as it complements the sweet strawberry flavor, but if you only have a dark rum or aged rum on hand, it will work. The difference will be a darker, more spiced flavor profile.
Quick Tips
Use in-season strawberries! Fresh strawberries are always sweeter during strawberry season at their peak ripeness. If you make this frozen strawberry daiquiri recipe during the off-season, buy frozen strawberries and defrost four of them to use as fresh ripe strawberries. Frozen strawberries are always picked during their peak ripeness and will be as sweet as possible.
Don’t overblend! While it sounds counterintuitive, it is possible to overblend a frozen cocktail. As a blender works, its base begins to heat up. If you over-blend, you risk melting the ingredients, which can lead to a watery texture. Instead, pulse the blender until just combined!
Use a powerful blender. A high-speed blender is best, as it will blend the ingredients together fast enough without melting. We recommend our Vitamix blender, which we use to make many recipes!

These soft and chewy Blueberry Cookies are jam-packed with juicy blueberries and topped with a sweet crumble. Like blueberry muffins in cookie form!
Enjoy these blueberry muffin cookies in the spring or any time of year using fresh, frozen or even dried blueberries. They’re soft, chewy and loaded with plump blueberries, just like my Vegan Blueberry Muffins. The streusel sprinkled on top is the perfect finishing touch!
They can be made gluten free and even customized with flavor boosters, like lemon zest, lavender, or extra berries! A little lemon glaze drizzled on top couldn’t hurt, either.
Why you’ll love these blueberry muffin cookies
Just like blueberry muffins – What makes these blueberry muffin-esque cookies so special is their soft and fluffy interior and slightly crisp exterior. It’s what you’d get in a bakery-style muffin but in a cookie!
The sweet crumble topping – The 3-ingredient crumble sprinkled on top of the cookies is a lovely and charming finishing touch. It takes this simple cookie recipe over the top!
Packed with juicy blueberries – I’m always picking up cases of blueberries as soon as they’re in season so I can use them in blueberry pancakes, lemon blueberry bread, blueberry cake, and, now, these delicious blueberry cookies.
How to make blueberry cookies
Find the complete recipe with measurements in the recipe card below.
Cream the butter and sugars together in the bowl of a stand mixer until creamy and smooth. Next, beat in the milk and vanilla. Stop the mixer and add in the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Mix on low speed until just combined.
Lastly, use a spatula to gently fold in the blueberries.
Tip: Be very gentle when folding in the berries. Some will burst but that’s okay! However, if too many burst, the cookie dough will turn green.
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to scoop the cookie dough from the bowl onto a baking sheet.
Sprinkle a generous amount of the crumble topping on each cookie dough mound, then gently press it into the dough.
Bake the cookies until they’re golden around the edges. Let them cool slightly, then enjoy!
Should I use fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries in these cookies?
Both work well! I like to use fresh blueberries because they don’t bleed as much as frozen blueberries. If you do use frozen berries, do not thaw them ahead of time. You can also use dried blueberries if you’d like.
Can these cookies be made gluten-free?
Yes! Substitute the all-purpose flour for a quality gluten-free flour blend, like Better Batter or Bob’s Red Mill.
What else can I add to the cookie dough?
You can customize the cookies with a 50-50 mix of blueberries and another berry or chocolate chips. You can also add a little lemon zest and/or lemon extract for lemon blueberry cookies, or culinary lavender for blueberry lavender cookies.
Do I have to use blueberries?
Not if you don’t want to! Experiment with chopped strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, peaches, or apples instead of blueberries.
How long do they last?
Vegan blueberry cookies will stay soft and chewy for 2 to 3 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also keep them in the fridge for about 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Make the crumble topping – In a small bowl, stir the flour and sugar together, then add the melted butter and stir until crumbs form. Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the cookie dough.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a cookie sheet or two with parchment paper or lightly grease.
In a large bowl using a handheld mixer (or stand mixer with the paddle attachment), cream together the butter and sugars until creamy and smooth.
Beat in the milk and vanilla until fluffy and combined.
Stop the mixer and add the flour. Sprinkle the baking soda, cornstarch and salt on top of the flour. Turn the mixer on low speed and mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the blueberries until incorporated. If some of them break a little, that's fine, just try to be gentle.
Use a cookie scoop or spoon (about 1 1/2 tablespoons) to scoop the dough and place on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten them just slightly (so you can stick the crumble on better).
Sprinkle a generous amount of the crumble topping on each cookie dough, pressing it into the dough.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until they are just barely golden on the edges. Let them cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Gluten free – Use a quality gluten free flour mix. I like Better Batter and Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 flour.
You can swap the blueberries for strawberries, peaches, apples or other fruits.
They will keep at room temperature for 2-3 days, 5 days in the refrigerator or frozen for longer.
