Blueberry Cheesecake Coffee Cake

Perfect coffee cake for Sunday morning.

I love this time of year... blueberries are in season. I can remember as a kid my mom would go up to northern Minnesota with her sister to pick wild blueberries.

She would come home with tons of blueberries. We would freeze some for later, when the weather would be cold. But I remember my mom would always make these delicious blueberry pies. I am sure this is when my love for blueberries started.

Now I have you thinking that I am going to share a blueberry pie recipe, sorry not today, but I do have a yummy blueberry cheesecake recipe that I think is quite amazing.

Sunday mornings always seem to be the right time for a coffee cake, but then again I guess any day can be a coffee cake day. But Sundays seem to call for something special and this blueberry cheesecake cake is exactly that. 

It not only has a yummy streusel topping, but it also has a cream cheese filling, and then all those blueberries. Truly you can't go wrong with anything this yummy. 

So if you are looking to spruce up your Sunday morning, this recipe will do exactly that for you.
