This is it. The final batch of blueberries I picked this past spring.

I am always so glad that I pick so many and freeze themโ€ฆit’s like pulling out a bag of hidden Spring from my freezer every time.

Last year we went to pick blueberries and I was pregnant with Ellie & Lyla.

When I was rinsing off my blueberries (I do not rinse them before freezing — I have heard it makes them freeze funky), I couldn’t help but get excited to take two 6 month old babies out to the blueberry farm this coming Spring!

I have made so many blueberry desserts…I think y’all might start wondering if I actually have stock in blueberries.

To be perfectly honest, I don’t like to eat blueberries plain. Like, at all.

I love every other kind of berry all by itself, but I only like blueberries in a dessert/muffin/pancake situation.

I love the combo in this dish of cornmeal and blueberries. It’s almost like a really sweet cornbread with blueberries.

And I really liked it best at breakfast timeโ€ฆbut I wouldn’t go as far as to call it a breakfast/coffee cake.

Mostly because I’m pretty sure normal people don’t love cake for breakfast as much as I do. ๐Ÿ˜‰

This slice of blueberry upside down cake is so moist and delicious.

Gorgeous! I just saved the recipe to try this weekend!

I love the idea for this cake! And the blueberries swirling in it are beautiful!

The cake looks delicious.

If it’s basically cornbread with blueberries then it’s definitely ok for breakfast in my book! ๐Ÿ™‚

That looks gorgeous. Love the corn and blueberry combination!

This will be a first for us, I have never used cornmeal in a cake. Looks great.

Oh, you know everyone secretly does love cake for breakfast, especially me! Like you said, it’s basically cornbread…with a little extra sweetness…whatever! I’m going to eat this for breakfast!

That looks wonderful! So buttery and delicious ๐Ÿ™‚

Thank You For Being Here!
