Ingredients

For the batter

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

For the streusel topping

½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup brown sugar, packed
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup rolled oats

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

🥄 Creaming the butter and sugar well is crucial for a light and airy texture in the cake.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the blueberries, taking care not to break them apart. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
For the streusel topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Drizzle in the melted butter and mix until crumbly, then stir in the rolled oats.
Evenly sprinkle the streusel mixture over the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

🔍 The buckle should be golden brown and the edges slightly pull away from the sides of the pan when it's done.

Let the buckle cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature, with optional toppings like whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Variations

Berry Medley: Swap out the blueberries for a mix of blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries for a colorful and fruity buckle! 😋
Lemon Zest: Add the zest of one lemon to the batter for a refreshing citrus twist.
Nutty Crunch: Incorporate a handful of chopped nuts (like pecans or almonds) into the streusel topping for an added crunch.
Dairy-Free: Substitute the butter with plant-based butter and use almond or oat milk to make a dairy-free version.
