Restaurant Style Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake Recipe

During blueberry season we picked a ton so that we would have them for the freezer.  That was about 2 months ago and with fall in full swing, apple and pumpkin is all the rage. I have been cooking with both of those a lot lately so I decided it was time to change it up.  Rather than make muffins, I went for coffee cake. I have moments when I crave a really good coffee cake and they are always so hard to find.  Because of this I set out on a search for the perfect recipe a few years ago, it took some time and experimenting but I finally found the one.  If you like coffee cake, you will love this recipe.  Blueberries are optional, this is fabulous without them so keep that in mind!
