    14 Summer Baking Recipes You'll Love

    Sourdough Strawberry Shortcake

    strawberry shortcake

    To start, we have a classic. A simple, light, and fresh dessert. This from scratch sourdough strawberry shortcake has a buttery and flakey biscuit that is filled with fresh strawberries and homemade whipped cream. If you are looking for a dessert that hits every time, you will love our homemade strawberry shortcake.

    Lemon Cookies

    Second, our homemade lemon cookies are made with fresh lemon juice and lemon zest. We love that these cookies have that real and fresh lemon flavor and are topped with a lemon sugar topping before they go into the oven. Another light and refreshing dessert for the summer.

    Blueberry Cobbler

    blueberry cobbler

    This is for the blueberry lovers out there. Our homemade blueberry cobbler is a healthier version of typical blueberry cobbler, but it doesn't lack flavor one bit. It is made with maple syrup and a mix of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour.

    Homemade Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Next up is our most popular recipe here on the blog - sourdough chocolate chip cookies. This is my go-to sweet treat whether it is in the Summer or not. These sourdough chocolate chip cookies are ready in 20 minutes and come out so ooey gooey each time.

    Blueberry Sweet Rolls

    A sweet and gooey summer treat. A fun spin on your typical cinnamon roll. These homemade blueberry sweet rolls have a blueberry filling that uses fresh or frozen blueberries. They also are topped with a blueberry cream cheese frosting. My mouth is watering!

    Lemon Coconut Cookies

    Next up, we have a sweet and tangy combo with these lemon coconut cookies. These cookies have fresh lemon juice and zest with shredded coconut folded in. A great addition to these would be a dollop of lemon curd.

    Sourdough Lemon Blueberry Cookies

    A light, fruity, and slightly tangy treat. These lemon blueberry cookies have sourdough discard in them and are a fun cookie to spice things up other than a typical chocolate chip cookie. It is an easy, from scratch recipe.

    The Best Sourdough Discard Crepes

    Sourdough discard crepes go a long way. From sweet breakfasts to savory dinners, there's truly so many ways for a crepe to be enjoyed! Plus, it's a great way to use up excess sourdough starter sitting in your fridge.

    Perfect Apple Crisp

    A white plate with apple crisp on it and a silver fork, too. In the background there's a cast iron skillet with apple crisp topped with fresh apple slices.

    Late summer is when apples are finally in season and one of the best ways to enjoy them is by baking a simple apple crisp! This dessert is always a crowd pleaser with little to no leftovers. Take it to your next summer picnic and you'll see exactly what I mean!

    Sourdough Coffee Cake
