Blueberry sauce with 2 ingredients and 10 minutes!

This easy blueberry sauce recipe has been in my arsenal for years and years, way before I began a grain free lifestyle. I used to make it with cornstarch, but I recently adapted the recipe with arrowroot starch. Like cornstarch, arrowroot starch is a thickener that adds no discernible flavor.

About the ingredients:

Arrowroot flour – Also called arrowroot starch, it is a fine powder with the texture of cornstarch. Made from the roots of the arrowroot plant, it is an easily digestible starch that can be used for thickening and baking. The thickening properties of arrowroot flour will break down with excess heat. That’s why it’s important to remove the blueberries from the heat before stirring in the arrowroot slurry, as explained in the directions. You can find arrowroot flour here or at your local health food store. 

Blueberries – You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries in this recipe with excellent results. Organic is best here, since almost all varieties of berries are very high in pesticide residue.

Here is my Ultimate Coconut Flour Pancake recipe, pictured below with the blueberry sauce. Hands down, this combination is my favorite breakfast.

Blueberry Sauce Recipe {No Sugar Added}

This two ingredient blueberry sauce gets all its sweetness from the berries. If you desire a sweeter sauce, use your choice of fruit juice instead of the water. Do not continue to cook the sauce after adding the arrowroot powder, as this will breakdown the thickening power of the arrowroot.
