    I’ve been cooking up a storm with them and this is the first of the blueberry recipes I have to share- Blueberry Cornbread. It’s phenomenal!

    I used equal parts cornmeal and flour so the cornbread has a little bit of a cakey texture, but not much. The texture is a little crumbly, but the pockets of blueberries help hold it together. A good amount of brown sugar sweetens the batter and enhances the flavor of the blueberries.

    I was going to make some cinnamon honey butter to go with it, but the Blueberry Cornbread was so yummy by itself, I completely forgot about the butter.

    Only problem is, I don’t know if I’ll ever want cornbread without blueberries again.
