Ready in under an hour, this easy Blueberry Bisquick Coffee Cake is the perfect recipe to add to your brunch menu! Top this coffee cake with powdered sugar or a simple glaze for an impressive sweet treat!

Coffee Cake is a classic treat on lots of brunch menus. This one is so easy to make because you are using Bisquick to make the batter instead of all the individual dry ingredients! Enjoy this Bisquick coffee cake recipe with a nice cup of coffee anytime of the year! The first time I made this recipe, it was gone in no time! It is a hit wherever it is served!

Even though you can make delicious banana pancakes with Bisquick or pumpkin pancakes with pancake mix, you can also make pumpkin waffles with pancake mix, double chocolate pancakes with pancake mix, and even peanut butter cookies with pancake mix!

Why You'll Love This Recipe

  • It's easy to make! No need to break out the mixers or blenders, this blueberry coffee cake recipe is mixed entirely by hand!
  • It's a sweet treat for lots of occasions! This is a delicious blueberry coffee cake is a perfect breakfast on Easter morning, brunch item for a baby shower or bridal shower, or an afternoon snack when you need some sweet treats!
  • It's made with Bisquick! Using pancake mix will cut down the time and ingredients you need since Bisquick mix already has all purpose flour, leavening agents, and a little bit of salt.

Ingredients

  • Bisquick. Make sure the Bisquick is not expired.
  • Butter. Cut into cubes and room temperature so it is easy to mix into the streusel topping.
  • Blueberries. Blueberries add a zing of sweetness plus a burst of freshness wherever you add them. I love them in sour cream blueberry muffins, blueberry French toast casserole, and of course blueberry buttermilk pancakes!
  • Light Brown Sugar. For the streusel topping. This adds sweetness and color to the topping.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries can be used in this recipe.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a grating of lemon zest from the lemon peel for an even fresher flavor. You'll add that right to the batter.
  • Top the coffee cake with powdered sugar or a simple glaze of powdered sugar, milk, and a bit of lemon juice or vanilla extract, just like in this lemon blueberry zucchini bread.

How To Make Blueberry Bisquick Coffee Cake

The milk and eggs are mixed together in a bowl.
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and grease a baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray and line it with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix together the milk, large egg, and sugar.
The Bisquick is added to the bowl.
Step 2: Add the Bisquick to the bowl and mix until a batter forms.
The blueberries are being folded into the batter.
Step 3: Fold in the blueberries. Do not overmix as that will burst the blueberries. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
The streusel topping ingredients are in a small bowl.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, mix together the streusel topping ingredients. Mix the butter cubes well into the other ingredients in the small bowl or medium bowl with a fork or a pastry cutter until crumbles form. A pastry blender will work too.
The crumbles are on top of the batter, ready for baking.
Step 5: Sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter in the baking dish.
The bisquick blueberry coffee cake is in a pan topped with powdered sugar.
Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown or until a toothpick or butter knife is inserted and comes out clean. Top with powdered sugar or a light glaze.

Tips and Tricks

  • Make sure your Bisquick is not expired.  If you do not use fresh Bisquick, this will turn into a dough instead of a batter.  Add a few tablespoons of more liquid is the batter is too tight.
  • The batter will look like there is not enough for the baking dish, but don't worry, as the coffee cake bakes, it will rise.
  • Parchment paper makes it easier to lift the coffee cake out of the pan.  This reduces the risk of the coffee cake sticking to the pan.
  • An 8x8 pan is best for this recipe as anything bigger will cause the coffee cake to spread too much.

Recipe FAQs

How should leftovers be stored?

Once the moist Bisquick coffee cake has cooled to room temperature, you can cover the cooled cake with plastic wrap or aluminum foil or cut it into pieces and place the pieces in an airtight container. Do not refrigerate this cake. Keep in on the counter.

I don't have a square pan, what else can I use?

Square pans are great for cakes like this because they bake evenly and the pieces are even. If you don't have a square pan, you can use an 8 inch cake plate or even a springform pan.

What other fruit can I use?

Fresh fruit like fresh blueberries or fresh strawberries are best for this easy recipe, but you can use frozen fruit or even a half can of pie filling to mix into the batter.
