BLUEBERRY BREAKFAST CAKE

RECIPES THAT HAVE A UNIVERSAL APPEAL TO EVERYONE, YOUNG AND OLD ALIKE, RICH AND POOR, SHORT AND TALL, OPTIMIST OR PESSIMIST.

Every now and then or once in a while it's nice to have something a little nicer for breakfast than the same old same old thing. Here is something that fills the bill and qualifies nicely as something a little nicer. It can be made in a flash (well, almost--more like a semi-flash), and it is delicious when you serve it hot right out of the oven. No need to wait for it to cool down. The hotter it is, the better it tastes. Life is good even on an ordinary day, but with the Blueberry Breakfast Cake sitting on the table, life is even better. In fact, it's wonderful! If this doesn't make you want to stay home all day and just eat hot Blueberry Breakfast Cake, then nothing else will. Here is the recipe:

1/2 C. (1 cube) butter
3/4 C. sugar
2 eggs
3/4 C. oat flour
2 C. Bisquick
2 teasp. baking powder
1/2 C. fresh washed blueberries

1. First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then put 1 C. of oatmeal in the blender and put it on high or until it becomes a fine flour. 1 C. then becomes 3/4 C.

2. In a small bowl, whip the eggs until they are frothy.

3. In a larger bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Then add the eggs and mix thoroughly.

4. Next, add the Bisquick and oat flour plus the baking powder. Mix it all together nicely. Then gently fold in the blueberries. Don't mix the batter after that.

5. Spray a 9" square baking dish with Pam baking spray.

6. Spoon the batter into the baking dish until it evenly covers the bottom and all sides.

7. Next, sprinkle on a crumb crust. Here is the recipe:

1 C. flour
1/4 C. oats
1/2 C. brown sugar
1/4 C. butter
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Mix these all together in a small bowl until the butter is almost completely absorbed into the dry ingredients.

7. Bake approximately 45-50 minutes until it is well browned on top. Serve immediately. Makes 8 servings. Enjoy!
