I love breakfast foods. I would eat them for every meal if it was acceptable. I absolutely love Starbucks, but have to limit myself due to a lack of unlimited funds. Thier blueberry muffins are my favorite treat. I stumbled upon this recipe in the St. Louis Post Dispatch a while ago and it claimed that it tastes just like Starbucks coffee cake. I do have to say it is the closest I have found. I tweaked it a bit and now this is one of my favorite breakfasts. You can make a whole pan for about the price of one muffin at Starbucks, which makes it taste even better :)

1 cup sugar
