- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 cup bacon grease with a bit of neutral flavored oil to top off the measuring cup
- 2 large egg (can substitute 1/4 cup banana or applesauce for each egg to make egg-free)

- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 to 8 ounces fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw frozen) (about 1 cup)

- 1 whole kale leaf or handful of baby spinach
Directions

- Mix blueberries and then bacon into flour mixture.
