Always a crowd pleaser (they love the moist cake, I love how fast and easy it is), I thought this recipe deserved a photo – especially since it’s blueberry season. Thanks to Janie for showing it to me… um, when is the next one coming?

1/2 cup butter / margerine
3/4 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla
2 cups blueberries

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1/2 tsp cinnamon (or more depending on taste)

5) Bake at 350˚F for 40 minutes.

Why mess with a good thing? I am glad I did. In my quest to ‘have my cake and eat it too’, I substituted 1/2 cup of flour with ground flax seeds and reduced the sugar by a couple of tablespoons. Couldn’t tell there are flax seeds at all, still sweet, and even my teenage nephews wanted to take home more to enjoy the next day. Ethan had a big piece and wanted more the next day.
