Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake for Easter or Anytime


Try this easy to make coffee cake this Easter, especially if you have family visiting.  It smells amazing baking and tastes so delicious warm with a cup of coffee.  I have made this many times for friends and family.  Often, I make it to give to someone who needs warm comfort food, whether they are healing from a surgery or grieving the loss of a pet.  Nothing about this coffee cake tastes "milk-free."   It is delicious and a big hit every time.

This year I am going to make this coffee cake for my family for our Easter brunch.  I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.  Enjoy~
