Ingredients
1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
1 and 1/4 cups blueberries
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons cold butter (for streusel)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
1/4 cup brown sugar (for streusel)
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and cold butter for the streusel topping. Chill until ready to use.
2. Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Alternate mixing in the dry ingredients and milk into the butter mixture.
4. Toss blueberries in a little flour to prevent sinking and fold them gently into the batter.
5. Pour the batter into a greased 8×8-inch pan. Sprinkle the chilled streusel on top.
6. Bake at 350°F for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a bit of lemon zest to the batter.
If using frozen blueberries, don’t thaw them before adding to the batter.
