Blueberries
Wash and drain your blueberries, then stir them in a bowl with 2 tbsp of flour.
Add the blueberries to the batter and stir in with a spoon.

Pour your batter into your mini loaf pan that's been coated with non-stick cooking spray.
Bake!
Bake in the oven at 350° for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.
Now to Make the Glaze

Try Not to Eat Them All at Once.
This is the perfect thing to take to that family reunion or office party. I brought some to work and a coworker that said 'I hate blueberries, but I'll try it' actually ended up asking me for the recipe.
