  • Recipe Source: a friend
  • Servings: 9 inch round pan
  • Cook Time: 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until the streusel is browned and toothpick comes out clean in the center

Ingredients:

Streusel:
½ cup Flour
¼ cup Brown Sugar
½ tsp Cinnamon
¼ cup Margarine or Butter, softened
¼ cup Chopped Pecans or Whatever Nuts You Prefer
Batter:
⅓ cup Margarine or Butter, softened
¾ cup Sugar
8 oz Plain Yogurt
2 Large Eggs
½ tsp Vanilla
1¾ cups Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
½ tsp Baking Soda
¼ tsp Salt
1½ cups Fresh or Frozen Blueberries
½ cup Pecans, or whatever kind of nuts you prefer

Directions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch size pan. Prepare streusel in small bowl: combine flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cut in the 1/4 cup margarine/butter in coarse crumbs; stir in nuts and set aside.

Prepare batter in large bowl with the electric mixer at medium speed. Beat 1/3 cup margarine, sugar, yogurt, eggs, vanilla, flour, baking powder, soda, and salt to blend. On high, beat for 5 minutes or until it is very smooth. Mix in blueberries and nuts. I do this part by hand. Spoon into prepared pan.

Sprinkle streusel on top of batter. (I don't always add all of it; it seems a bit too much for our taste)

Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until streusel is browned and toothpick comes out clean. Cool pan on rack.

Helpful Tips:

It seems like the blueberries drop to the bottom of the batter so sometimes I save part of them to poke down into the batter right before I do the streusel. A wonderful way to incorporate fresh blueberries or frozen into your diet... You can freeze any extras after it is baked and they come out of the freezer great.
