lemon blueberry coffee cake recipe from HomeschoolCreations.net - yummy breakfast treat!

One of the best parts of our children getting older is the chance they have to step into the kitchen and take over some of the cooking duties. While we are working toward independence with all the kids (I firmly believe they need to have a strong means of keeping their bellies full with homemade food once they leave home), they are having much fun choosing recipes and serving our family by putting together a breakfast once a week.

A current favorite is our Lemon Blueberry Coffee Cake recipe. With a yummy crumble topping (my personal favorite) to the combination of blueberries with a little bit of lemon flavor – oh my goodness. Definitely a tasty way to start the day!  Below you’ll find our adapted recipe along with some alternate suggestions for the lemon addition.
