Corn meal plus blueberries equals summer-delicious.

It had to come to this, stirring blueberries into a corn meal-enriched quick bread batter–two ingredients that always win over my baking heart. When a corn muffin is not enough and a square of blueberry cake is, somehow, too dessert-y, then you need this recipe. Once baked and sliced, I think you’ll agree: Here’s a spunky bread, gritty enough to please, with berries locked into the “crumb.” It’s a whisk-and-stir batter, easily and nimbly handmade.

Blueberry heaven awaits.
