If you love blueberries, you will enjoy this as much as my family did when my grandma made it when we were younger.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This blueberry cornbread is a twist on traditional cornbread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, at brunch, or as a snack. Brown sugar adds a rich caramel-like sweetness to the moist homemade cornbread. The cinnamon complements the sweet notes of blueberries and brown sugar. Unique and delicious.
