A slice of Blueberry Coffee Cake is a perfect start to your day. It’s rich and deliciously moist with fresh blueberries in every bite.

Soft and tender coffee cake bursting with blueberries, topped with a crunchy, sugary, and spiced topping. This blueberry coffee cake is the perfect treat to make when you’re craving something sweet for breakfast or brunch!

Of all the coffee cakes I make (and there are several!), this easy blueberry coffee cake is one of my favorites. I love how moist it is and the sweetness of the blueberries. It’s the #1 blueberry coffee cake.

Even better? The kids love it, too! Rarely do we all agree wholeheartedly, but there is something magical about this coffee cake. Aiden said out of a 5, he gives it a 4! That is high, high praise at our house.

I make it for the family but it’s also great for entertaining if you’re hosting breakfast or brunch for friends and family.

Recipe Notes

  • This straightforward blueberry coffee cake is ready to serve in 45 minutes.
  • It’s incredibly moist and loaded with blueberry flavor. I use Chobani Blueberry Greek Yogurt and fresh blueberries to give it the most fantastic flavor and texture.
  • I also use pudding mix in this coffee cake. It gives it an incredibly soft crumb. It practically melts in your mouth!
  • The best part is that we’re using a cake mix because I am about keeping things accessible in the kitchen.

How do you make Blueberry Coffee Cake?

Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9×13″ metal pan.

Mix all the ingredients for the cake in a mixer for seven minutes (this is key to make the pudding set).

Meanwhile, mix together brown sugar, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. This is for the topping.

Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture over the batter.

Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Then, open the oven and sprinkle the fresh blueberries on the coffee cake. Do not push them in or swirl, leave them on top. Close the oven and bake for another 18-20 minutes. Or until the cake is set and is pulling away from the edges. Let it cool so it does not crumble when you cut and serve it.

Blueberry Coffee Cake Tips

Do you need to prepare the cake mix? No, all you need is the mix. It’s added to the batter dry – no need to prepare it first.

Do you make the pudding before adding it to the batter? Nope! Just add the dry mix to the batter. I like to mix the batter for seven minutes because this allows the pudding mix to fully absorb the liquid ingredients.

Can you use frozen blueberries? Yes, but you should thaw and drain them before adding them to the batter.

Can you use other fruit? Yes, you can swap the blueberries for raspberries or blackberries. You can also use chopped strawberries. You can use different flavored Greek yogurt, too.

How do you store coffee cake? Keep it covered, and it will keep well for two or three days at room temperature. Or keep it in the refrigerator, and it will keep for a few days longer.

Can you freeze coffee cake? Let it cool completely, and then tightly wrap the cake in plastic wrap. Keep it in a freezer container, which will freeze well for up to two months. Leave it out at room temperature to thaw before serving.
