Blueberry Streussel Coffee Cake

My husband has been on a blueberry kick lately. I’ve made scones, muffins, and your basic blueberry pancakes. I needed to spice my baking up to keep up with his latest craving. I put together this recipe and he was truly satisfied. The blueberry tartness with the sugary sweetness of the Streussel really compliment each other in this recipe. It is so hard to not eat the entire pan in one sitting. It goes perfect with a hot cup of coffee, which will help you jump start your morning.
