Pro Tips and Timesaver Shortcuts

• I use salted butter, but you can if you use unsalted, add ½ teaspoon of salt to the dry ingredients.
• Use softened butter for easy blending of the coffee cake, but use cold butter for the topping for best results.
• You can use a fork in the place of a pastry cutter. It takes a little longer but it works. Sometimes I use two forks together,

Variations, Notes, and Substitutions

• You can substitute cranberries for the blueberries to change up the coffee cake.

Serving and Storage Suggestions

• Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container.
