Recent posts can be added to blogger (blogspot) with help of Feed gadget. This is method I prefer because it less slow down load time of your blog then a method with Recent Posts widget. Drawback is that you a limited to only five recent posts.

Second method with a Recent Posts gadget is more powerful. Recent Posts gadget show the recent posts with thumbnails and summaries. Drawback of this method is longer load time of your blog.
