Old-Fashioned Blueberry Buckle

Due to their intense color, balanced flavor and unique texture, blueberries are my favorite fruit for baking. And when it comes to baking, you can’t beat a buckle, an old-fashioned streusel-topped blueberry coffee cake. Although I may be a loyal cobbler fan, I think it’s high time Americans rediscover the art of the buckle.
