I learned all my cooking and baking skills sitting on the counter while my Southern grandma was busy in the kitchen. Over the years, I’ve enjoyed many delicious old-fashioned sweet treats while hanging out at Nannie’s. There is always something good in the oven at her house!

It’s loaded with fresh, juicy blueberries with moist layer of cake from scratch, and a slightly crunchy top layer. It will be love at first bite!

Today’s blueberry coffee cake recipe is put together in an 8×8 pan. It’s a great alternative to classic muffins or bundt cake.
I’ve seen some recipes that are drizzled with glaze, or made with cake mix, with sour cream, with Bisquick, or with cream cheese. I think this recipe is the best because it’s from scratch, and so tasty and simple with crumb topping.
