Lemon Blueberry Corn Squares

Jump to Recipe

These corn squares are amazing for breakfast but also really great for a pot luck or a shower. They are not so sweet that it is straight up dessert but sweet enough to function as a breakfast or dessert option. This is a excellent alternative option to some traditional breakfast ideas. Lemon Blueberry Corn Squares are a big hit for any event.

I have included my recipe for homemade cornbread mix at the bottom of the main recipe. You can use a boxed or bagged mix. Just be sure to adjust the other ingredients accordingly with the mix you are using. Also if you have your own recipe for homemade cornbread, you can just use that and include the sugar, blueberries, lemon juice and lemon zest.

Substitutes and Variations:

This will work with strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. You could also do a mixed berry version. Just be cautious of the moisture content of the berries you choose and adjust the mix accordingly.

Suggestions for Sides:

If serving for breakfast, this goes amazing with ham steak. The salty ham just balances out the sweetness and brightness of the lemon blueberry combination.

Tools that may make this recipe easier:

You really dont need anything specific to make these corn squares. As always i suggest using parchment paper because it make clean-up so easy. For this recipe the parchment also works great for cutting and serving the squares. I like to just lift the whole batch out of the baking pan using the parchment paper and setting it on the cutting board. This makes it so easy to cut into even squares.
