Blueberry Streusel

I'm really trying to feed my family a hot breakfast every morning before they leave the house. It just seems to start the day off right.

I'm not a big breakfast eater, so this makes things challenging. I really wish that I would have participated in The Happy Housewife's Hot Breakfast Challenge--but I didn't. I have however, gained a lot of good breakfast ideas!

This particular recipe has been on my to-make this for quite sometime. I've had it tucked away in my highly unorganized recipe binder, and I just so happened to come across it earlier this week.

It is perfect to mix up on a Sunday morning and pop it in the oven while you finish getting ready and getting the kids ready, since it takes just over an hour to bake.

Blueberry Streusel

1 pint frozen or fresh blueberries

1 (14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk

2 tsp grated lemon peel

3/4 c plus 2 Tbsp butter

2 cups biscuit mix (I used my homemade substitute)

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. In a bowl, combine the blueberries, sweetened condensed milk (did you know that you can make your own out of powdered milk?!) and the lemon peel. In another large bowl, cut up 3/4 cup butter into 1 1/2 cups of your biscuit mix until it is crumbly. Then add in the blueberry mixture.

Spread into a 9 inch, greased baking dish.

In a small bowl, combine the remaining biscuit mix and brown sugar. Cut in 2 Tbsp butter until crumbly. Spread over the blueberry mixture in the pan.

Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.

For a dessert, top with Vanilla Ice Cream. For an added punch, add blueberry syrup.

Doesn't that just look delish?
