Delicious with a lovely light texture! I really love the idea of tossing the blueberries with the cinnamon, very nice touch. I drizzled this with a light lemon glaze which went perflectly with it. Very yummy! Thanks for posting.

This was great. I used applesauce instead of oil and egg beaters instead of eggs. Turned out wonderful, my only complaint was the blueberries sunk to the bottom, but that was probably due to using the apple sauce/egg beaters combo. I should have used a little more flour to thicken the batter. DH and DD loved it. Thanks for sharing.

This is a very good coffee cake. The blueberries are the big hit in this recipe, of course, and the cinnamon is a nice touch. The only thing is that my cake didn't rise as high as I'm used to and I'm not sure why. It still tasted great, though. Thanks for sharing, Auntie Mags.
