Notes
If you prefer a mixture of flours simply use have whole wheat flour and add in the other half of a flour of your choice.
If you use canned blueberries that have any sort of added sugar or thickener be sure to adjust the sweetener and the liquid if necessary. If you use dried blueberries, soak them in water to plum them up a bit before adding to the batter.
