Cinnamon Swirl Blueberry Coffee Cake

Cinnamon Swirl Blueberry Coffee Cake Recipe from A Kitchen Addiction

Are your stores overflowing with blueberries? Ours are and we are taking full advantage of it! Every time I pass a display, I seem to be unable to stop myself from grabbing a container to put in the cart.

They are just so juicy and sweet that we’ve been enjoying them plain with a bit of homemade whipped cream, with pancakes, by the handful, in salads, etc. This blueberry coffee cake, however, is the first thing I baked with them.

When I was first thinking about a coffee cake, I had all kinds of flavors swirling through my mind. But you know what? Sometimes simple is best!

I decided to settle on a simple blueberry coffee cake with a swirl of cinnamon through the middle. I’m so glad I did. The blueberries shine through in all their juicy sweetness! So good.

Enjoy it warm or at room temperature for a delicious breakfast or brunch. If you have the time, warm a piece up and top it with homemade whipped cream and a drizzle of honey.

I see us consuming a couple more of these coffee cakes before this summer is over!

Looks great! I often cook breakfast for a local homeless shelter, and this looks like it would bake up great to feed a crowd! Thanks for sharing! E

Yummmm!! All I've done with blueberries so far is shove them directly into my mouth. Which is a shame because the best baking has blueberries in it. Love how moist the cake looks
