This Quick Blueberry Compote is refined sugar free and only requires three ingredients. Use it on pancakes, waffles, with yogurt, granola, or even on baked chicken to get multiple purposes out of it!
This recipe is so simple when you want to jazz up your maple syrup with fruit. It's similar to the fruit topping you'd get at IHOP or Denny's with your pancakes or waffles, except made with fresh, whole ingredients instead of from a jar or can.

Ingredients
You'll need just a few basic ingredients:
- blueberries - you can use fresh or frozen blueberries
- pure maple syrup - for sweetness. Use pure maple syrup rather than the syrup often bought for pancakes that's thick.
- lemon juice - from a lemon preferably, not the canned lemon juice
Thick v. Thin Blueberry Compote
If you're making pancakes, I highly recommend you add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup to the recipe and reduce the simmer time by a couple of minutes. This'll make the blueberry compote thinner, which I prefer on my pancakes and waffles. It acts as both your delicious pop of fruit on your pancakes as well as your maple syrup.
