Blueberry Lemon Coffee Cake

It's a tradition for our family to go blueberry picking at our local farm every year, which I've shared before with my Blueberry Maple Syrup recipe.  The second part of that tradition is that we come home with pounds and pounds of blueberries that I need to do something with.  Of course, there's the classic Blueberry Muffins, and last year I made amazing Blueberry Maple Syrup, which I will definitely be making again.

This year, I tried another new recipe, and it was so delicious that I have to share, Blueberry Lemon Coffee Cake.  My kids keep asking when I'm making it again!

Blueberry Lemon Coffee Cake is a fun spin on blueberry muffins with fresh blueberries, buttermilk, refreshing lemon, and a streusel topping. This breakfast recipe can be frozen after baked, if wrapped tightly.

If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can easily substitute using this simple Buttermilk substitute guide.
