BLUEBERRY-POPPY SEED LOAVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush 4 mini loaf pans (about 5 by 3 inches each) with vegetable oil. Whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Beat the milk, 1 1/3 cups vegetable oil, the eggs, poppy seeds, and almond and vanilla extracts in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until combined. Gradually beat in the flour mixture until well combined. Fold the blueberries into the batter with a rubber spatula.
• Divide the batter among the prepared pans and bake until golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour, 10 minutes. Transfer the pans to a rack and let cool about 10 minutes, then remove the cakes to the rack to cool completely.

BLUEBERRY LEMON CRISP

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375° F.
• 2. In large bowl, stir granulated sugar and flour or cornstarch until blended. Add blueberries and lemon juice; stir to coat evenly. Spoon blueberry mixture into shallow 2-quart glass or ceramic baking dish; spread evenly. Sprinkle the lemon peel over the berries. The tartness of fresh lemon peel balances the sweetness of the berries and topping, so use the amount that suits your personal taste.
• 3. Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon. With fingers, mix until coarse crumbs form. Crumble over blueberry mixture.
• 4. Place sheet of foil underneath baking dish; crimp foil edges to form a rim to catch any drips during baking. Bake crisp 35 to 40 minutes or until top is browned and fruit is bubbly at edges. Cool on wire rack 1 hour to serve warm or cool completely to serve later.
