Directions

1. Heat oven 375 degrees. First prepare the blue berry mixture by whisking together the 4 first ingredients, then add fresh blueberries, toss lightly and finally add the lemon zest and juice. Put the blueberry mixture in a 9-inch deep baking dish, then place the dish on a baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes.
2. Meanwhile get the dry and wet ingredients ready. After 25 minutes remove blueberries from oven, and increase oven temp to 425 degrees. First mix the dry ingredients together and then the wet in a separate bowl, then add wet to dry and mix until dough forms.
3. The dough now needs to be divided into 8 balls. First divide the dough in half, then divide the 2 halves again which makes 4 then divide the four balls half again, which will make 8 balls. Place 7 balls around the perimeter and one in the middle. Mix 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon and 2 teaspoon sugar together and sprinkle on top of dough, place in a 425 degree oven for 15-18 minutes. Allow it to cool and then enjoy ;-).
