Blueberry Coffee Cake

I have always been a fan of coffee cake and this recipe for Blueberry Coffee Cake is a definite winner. Add a hot cup of coffee and you are set.

The entire recipe is so versatile and you can use fresh or frozen blueberries. I love that option because it means I can enjoy this year round. And trust me, you will want to make this all the time. This coffee cake is amazing.

The coffee cake is just so moist and the blueberries make it so delicious. Then you get a bite of that crumble on top and the glaze. The glaze is my favorite part as it adds so much flavor. I love to make extra for serving.

You might think this looks fancy and complicated. However, you can rest assured the recipe is super easy. You know we keep things simple around here.

  • Blueberries – You can make this coffee cake with fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries. Gently mix in the blueberries to the cake batter. You want to try your best not to burst the blueberries.

  • Flour Blueberries – Before mixing in the blueberries into the cake batter, make sure to mix the flour and blueberries together. This prevents the blueberries dropping into the batter.
  • Glaze – You can add flavor to the glaze. We recommend adding in lemon juice and lemon zest for added flavor and color to the glaze.
