Easy Strawberry Blueberry Compote

Compote may sound like something fancy, old fashioned, and complicated, but it’s really a very simple and delicious dairy-free topping that can be used for so many things. I love to use this recipe with pancakes, french toast, overnight oats, ice cream, chia pudding, dairy-free yogurt, toast, banana bread, and between cake layers. My favorite way to eat this is on top of my gluten-free pancakes with a dollop of coconut whipped cream. The options are practically endless. The best part is that it’s made using fresh fruit, which means much less sugar compared to store bought toppings!

I prefer the compote without the added sugar or just a touch of coconut sugar, but my son likes it sweeter with the full teaspoon of sugar. I scoop out my unsweetened servings before I add the sugar in. You can add the sugar at the end if you’d like to see which you prefer.

Try this compote on my Gluten-Free Banana Pancakes or with Coconut Whipped Cream:

You can also replace the strawberries with more blueberries, and enjoy it on top of my super fluffy Lemon Blueberry Pancakes.
