Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray, or grease lightly with butter.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

This is so quick and easy! Add 2 cups blueberries to the prepared baking dish.

Sprinkle the dry cake mix over top of the blueberries. You do not need to add anything to the cake mix. Try and sprinkle it as evenly as possible, however perfection is not required!

Next, melt the butter and drizzle melted butter evenly over top of the dry cake mix. Don’t worry if there are a few small dry patches of cake mix. They will disappear during the baking process. Do not stir the mixture!!

Lastly, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of blueberries on top .

Bake in 350°F preheat oven for 45 to 50 minutes. Top will be light golden brown and the blueberry filling might bubble up at the sides.
