Ingredients
Units
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- ? cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
Vanilla Icing
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, white sugar, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder.
- Stir in the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until evenly combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Grease or line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Pour in the batter and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool.

Notes
These are perfect for breakfast or dessert — just the right amount of sweetness, with little bursts of tart blueberry. If you want to add crunch, stir a small handful of chopped nuts into the batter.
