I had blueberries that needed to be used, and love the combination of lemon and blueberries; so I made these for breakfast this morning. They were quick to make and tasted wonderful.....even though I am pretty sure I skipped the salt! Thanks for posting! (I assumed that these were to be baked at 350 degrees)
