Blueberry Buckle

Blueberry season is here, and we love so much to eat them fresh that I forget there are so many delicious ways to use blueberries for baking! Since we bought a few extra containers on our last grocery trip, I decided to bake up a few using this recipe from allrecipes. This one's a keeper!

1/2 cup white sugar

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
