- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs

- 1/2 cup buttermilk
Blueberries:
- 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
- 1 tablespoon flour (for tossing blueberries)
Instructions

- Prepare dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
