Cookies, Muffins, and Bars

1. Blueberry Strawberry Muffins

Take advantage of spring’s delicious berries with these blueberry and strawberry muffins. The red, white, and blue colors also make them perfect for a Memorial Day celebration!

2. Simple Sugar Cookies

These light and airy cookies are the perfect addition to any spring coffee or tea. You could brighten them up a bit by rolling them in colorful sugar to coordinate with colors for a baby shower, wedding shower, or end-of-school class treat.

3. Cinnamon Scones

These scones are the perfect spring dessert for a crowd at a spring brunch or bridal shower as they look a little fancy and taste amazing. We also love this as a perfect Easter dessert idea!

Thankfully, they are super easy to throw together — and the leftovers taste great too!

Serve them with a bit of ice cream or a few berries, and you have an amazingly decadent spring dessert that will wow all your guests (or just your kids)!

Dessert Drinks

5. Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

This is a delicious way to use up over-ripe bananas — and a great treat as the weather starts to warm up.

6. Patriotic Berry Smoothie

Here’s another fun treat to pull out on those patriotic holidays (or really any time of year). Mix it up with whatever berries you have on hand (a great way to clean out the fridge and freezer).

7. Sweet Potato Smoothie

It might sound weird to put sweet potatoes in a smoothie — but don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. Sweet potatoes add a creamy texture to this smoothie (and a lot of nutrients too!) .

8. Tropical Smoothie

This is a perfect easy spring dessert for those lazy days when you might wish you were on a tropical vacation. Just enjoy this tropical smoothie while sitting on your back porch instead.

9. Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothie

This smoothie is so delicious with fresh spring strawberries — although frozen ones work well, too.

10. Blueberry Ginger Smoothie

This easy blueberry ginger smoothie is refreshing and tastes great with fresh or frozen blueberries.

11. Orange Cream Smoothie

Remember the taste of orange creamsicles? This is the same taste in a delicious smoothie!

12. Homemade Frappuccino

A much cheaper alternative to those fancy coffee drinks — and just as tasty!

Pies and Cakes

13. Oreo Ice Cream Cake

Oreo ice cream cake is easy, delicious, and so refreshing on a warm spring day. Plus, you can easily make this dessert several days ahead and simply pull it out of the freezer 10-15 minutes before serving to let it thaw a bit.

14. No-Bake Oreo Pie

Don’t want to turn the oven on? This no-bake pie is what you need. This dessert can be ready to eat in just 15 minutes (and you’ll probably gobble it all down in about 5 minutes!).

15. Chocolate Torte

This recipe starts with a boxed cake mix (so you know it’s going to be easy!). Of course, you can substitute your own homemade chocolate cake as well. With the addition of some whipped cream and chocolate syrup, you can transform that boxed cake mix into a yummy chocolate torte!

16. Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Pie

If you love fruit, but also need a bit of chocolate, this is the dessert for you. Rich cheesecake, studded with fresh (or frozen) raspberries, and topped with a delicious chocolate ganache makes for a decadent treat any time of the year. We also love making this easy spring dessert for a crowd!

17. Vinegar Pie

Don’t be deterred by the name — this pie is deliciously light and refreshing and SO frugal to make!

More Spring Desserts

18. Mason Jar Ice Cream

If you need a last-minute dessert, pull out some vanilla ice cream and top it with fresh berries or even a bit of berry jam.

However, if you have a little more time or are looking for something fun do to with your kids, try making your own ice cream in mason jars. It’s super easy and fun — and tastes amazing.

19. Cinnamon Applesauce

For a light, refreshing dessert, try some chunky cinnamon applesauce. You could even top it with a scoop of homemade whipped cream.

20. Honey Sweetened Truffles

Truffles are the perfect bite-size treat to satisfy your sweet tooth after a meal. They are also nice energy boosters for quick snacks throughout the day.

These truffles are sweetened with just a bit of honey and then rolled in coconut to keep your fingers from getting too messy!

21. Ginger Biscuits with Peaches and Cream

While fresh peaches are ripe, run to your local orchard or grocery store and make this recipe. Not only are these biscuits totally delicious and the peaches perfectly sweet, the recipe is also gluten-free!

22. White Chocolate Bark

This white chocolate bark is so festive for spring (and you can totally change the sprinkle color to fit whatever time of year)! My only caution is to be very careful once you start eating the bark… it’s almost impossible to stop!
