Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 or 9x9-inch baking dish.

- 7. Pour batter into the greased dish and top with reserved blueberries.
- 8. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- 9. Cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, room temp, or chilled.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, use almond or oat flour instead of all-purpose.
To enhance flavor, add cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
Let it cool fully before slicing if you want neater, firmer pieces.
