Finally, a Saturday morning when I have nothing much to do. Ya, I could be catching up on my house cleaning since its been so hot, I haven’t really felt like cleaning! But… I’d rather be cooking. That can wait til later. I felt like making Blueberry Muffins or something similar, and remembered I cut this recipe out of one of those many magazines I bought at the check out (the only thing I see on the page is Our Best Desserts). I imagine its probably from Better Homes and Gardens.
This coffee cake almost has a layer of blueberries instead of them mixed in the batter, which seems like more of a filling when its baked. This sounds like the perfect way to start my lazy Saturday, and definitely satisfies my blueberry and cinnamon craving!
