Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 3 cups of fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, and a splash of lemon juice over medium heat. Stir the mixture gently until it reaches a simmer and the sugar fully dissolves—about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Whisk together cornstarch with cold water until smooth. Once the blueberry mixture is simmering, gradually pour in the cornstarch slurry while stirring continuously. Cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined. In another bowl, beat eggs then mix in buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients gently.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour half of your batter into the dish, spread evenly, spoon blueberry filling over, then dollop remaining batter on top.
  5. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden-brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. For an optional glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, a splash of buttermilk, and a dash of vanilla. Adjust consistency with more buttermilk or sugar.
  7. Allow casserole to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm, drizzled with glaze or maple syrup and whipped cream.
