Blueberry Breakfast Cake

 

This is a guest post by Hanan of Lilac City Mom

Our family loves all kinds of muffins, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins, Banana Muffins, and especially Blueberry Muffins. We tend to make them usually once a week for breakfast.

So, normally when I buy a package of blueberries, I reach for my Blueberry Muffin recipe. However, this time, I wanted to try something new, as I usually do. So I decided to make a Blueberry Breakfast Cake.

I love how moist the inside of the cake is, yet the top is nice and crunchy.

This is definitely going in my recipe book.
