Blueberries are in season right now. I love this little blue fruits that are so small but so good for you. Eating them raw or blending in a breakfast smoothie are the easy ways to go. To satisfy my girls’ (alright, mine too) sweet tooth, I put this little super food into bake good too.
Since the blueberries will become very juicy during baking, I used Xanthan Gum to turns the blueberries juice into a smooth jam like consistence. If you don’t have it around or couldn’t get it in your regular grocery store, substitutes it with corn starch.
