Blueberry Buckle

 I doubled this recipe and made it to take to work for a morning staff meeting and people really liked it. It's so yummy with a hint of lemon with the blueberries and then that crumble on top...oh yeah! It's something yummy to have as part of a brunch or on it's own. A nice change up from the ordinary. This recipe comes from Spend With Pennies. You can find the original recipe HERE.
