i've done an absolutely horrible job updating this with pictures, haven't i? well, too bad. laziness is a virtue.

i'm not just a junk food connoisseur, i'm also a junk food creator. this weekend, i whipped up* another batch of my absolute favorite coffeecake, aka "Blueberry Boy Bait." yes, that's really the name. no, i'm not making that up. really. i swear.

actually, this recipe is slightly altered from it's original incarnation, because that's how i roll. here's my version:

1 cup all-purpose flour + 1/2 cup cake flour + 1/2 cup almond flour
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup butter
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup blueberries
1/2 cup oats

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, stir together the flours, sugars and salt. Cut in butter with a fork (or your grubby hands) sandy-textured. For the topping, measure out 3/4 cup of the mixture, add 1/2 cup oats, and set aside.

Stir baking powder and cinnamon into the remaining mixture. Lightly beat eggs with milk. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until moistened.

Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle blueberries over the batter, and top with reserved crumb'n'oat mixture.

Bake for 40-50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched in the center.

* do not under any circumstances "whip" batter containing flour. that's a great way to end up with disgustingly tough baked goods.
