Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruits

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Optional Toppings

  • Maple syrup
  • Powdered sugar
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry, mixing just until incorporated—avoid overmixing to keep your casserole light and tender.
  2. Add Blueberries and Assemble: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, ensuring even distribution without crushing the berries. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure uniform baking.
  3. Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving.
  4. Optional Toppings: After baking, enhance your casserole with a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream to take it to the next level of deliciousness.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk to help the batter mix smoothly.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender, fluffy texture.
  • Thoroughly butter the baking dish to prevent sticking and create a crispy golden crust.
  • Prefer fresh blueberries to avoid excess moisture from frozen berries; if using frozen, toss them lightly with flour first.
  • Check doneness starting at 35 minutes to prevent overbaking and drying out the casserole.
