Oops, we forgot the fruit! This recipe calls for a 1/2 cup of blueberries. No coconut, no problem :)
I don’t have coconut or chia seeds, will it still turn out okay? Are the blueberries only used on top before putting in the oven?
There don’t seem to be any blueberries in this blueberry breakfast cake recipe.
When do we put the blueberries
