Sunday Supper, Blueberry Corn Bake
Blueberry and Corn Casserole from Miz Helen’s Country Cottage
caught my eye recently
and I put it on my bucket list of recipes to make for August
The texture is softer and lighter than cornbread,
yet it’s firmer than a traditional creamy casserole
So I call it Blueberry Corn Bake
This recipe is so versatile,
it can be served as a side dish for just about anything!
It would go great with BBQ chicken or pork,
with soup or salad,
or even with bacon and eggs for breakfast!
Fresh blueberries and items from your pantry and fridge~
creamed corn, baking soda, baking powder, cornmeal,
butter, eggs, and milk
Mix the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl,
then add melted butter and beaten eggs
Mix well and then stir in creamed corn
Add blueberries
At this point I refrigerated the batter
for a couple hours before baking
Transfer the batter to a greased baking dish,
I used my favorite deep 9″ x 9″ dish
Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour
Cut into squares to serve

Notes
Here are some similar recipes you might like
is a more traditional cornbread with added blueberries
is a lighter, sweeter version
It combines frozen blueberry rolls with eggs, butter and cream
This Sour Cream Cornbread doesn’t have blueberries
and the sour cream makes it a little lighter
than traditional heavy cornbread
Enjoy!

I never thought of adding blueberries to cornbread but it is an idea that I will be using soon. Thanks Jenna.
Thanks Bernadette, it’s a lovely combo!
Good morning, Jenna. This is an interesting combination. I definitely will try it. I love blueberries and cornbread, so why not! Wishing you a happy Sunday!
Thanks Pam, I hope you enjoy it!
This looks good, Jenna. It’s blueberry season here and the farmer’s market is overflowing with them. Must be a good year. And, a great time to try this!
Thanks Jeanie, I am trying to enjoy all the lovely summer produce as much as possible!
The texture of this look beautiful Jenna!
Thanks Dorothy!
Such a tender and fruity sweets!
Thanks Angie!
New to me idea. I love corn, cornbread, and blueberries so I think this might be the perfect side anytime. The other dishes sound good too. I think you need to invite us all over for a taste testing.🤣
I’d love to have you Linda!
I never thought to try blueberries in my cornbread recipe but I have to try this lighter version. The lemon blueberry bread pudding is a must try as well. Great ideas Jenna……
Thanks Emily, I like it because it’s not as heavy as traditional cornbread~
It does look “softer” than regular cornbread, but what a surprise! I think my family would love it. – thanks for the recipe!
Thanks Leslie Anne, hope you enjoy!
Marty will for sure want me to make this for him. He loves blueberries and corn bread! It looks too pretty to eat though! But I am sure he will! LOL! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thanks Cindy, it’s a great side dish!
I need to check this out, never thought to add blueberries – what an interesting twist!
Thanks Mary, it’s a nice change from the normal and expected!
A combination I would never think to put together. It looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing such a so unique as we both like cornbread and blueberries. Happy week.
Thanks Linda, it’s a delicious combo and makes a unique side dish!
Jenna, this blueberry corn cake looks yummy! I agree it would go great with some barbecue chicken. I often get tired of the same old side dishes. This would be a nice change. Happy Monday, sweet friend!
Thank you Shannon, it makes a wonderful side dish and not too heavy. I hope you’re keeping cool!
Great recipe ideas, especially since I am a big blueberry fan! Will try these out, Jenna. Hoping you are doing well over in Bama, as here in Georgia we are having rain almost every day it seems, and some feisty storms. So stay safe–Georgia Gal
Hi Georgia Gal! I’m always excited to hear from you! Yes, heat and strong storms here almost daily too! I think you’ll like the Corn and Blueberry Bake, it’s light and tasty!
What a great idea! I’ll be adding blueberries next time!
Thanks Nancy, perfect for Summer!
The idea of adding blueberries to cornbread is brilliant. Are you aware that the printed version of this recipe does not include the creamed corn? I have all of the ingredients, including the creamed corn. I cannot wait to make this.
omg, thank you for telling me Pattie, I will fix it right now!!! I hope you enjoy it!
Never used blueberries and corn in one bread. Will have to try this for sure.
