Blueberry Breakfast Cake

BONUS…. It is Vegan, Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free

Lately, I've had a Sweet Tooth and this is one of my favorites not only for breakfast but for a quick snack. I also like to food prep all our meals once a week, and this recipe is so quick and easy.

My husband who doesn't intentionally eat gluten-free, vegan and definitely not dairy-free loves this cake. Or at least he loves me enough that he will eat it with me!

If you are the hostess of a brunch gathering with your girlfriends, they will think you spent hours in the kitchen. I love recipes that are so simple, yet taste like you spent lots of time preparing them.

I also have to admit I don’t love to eat blueberries on their own. But, they are absolutely delicious in this cake recipe. Not sure how that works? But, I will take it any day. Blueberries are low in calories and fat. They also contain a decent amount of fiber. Blueberries have one of the highest antioxidant levels. So win-win here! 

Please reach out to us and let you know how you and your family enjoyed this recipe!
Bon Appetit!

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Non-dairy milk
  • 2/3 Cup Turbinado sugar, powdered (see note)
  • 1/3 Cup Plain non-dairy yogurt
  • 1/3 Cup Refined coconut oil (melted) Or substitute with olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
  • 2 Teaspoons Pure maple syrup Or substitute with vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 Cups Gluten-free flour
  • 2 Teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/2 Teaspoon himalayan pink salt
  • 1 1/2 Cups Fresh blueberries

Crumb Topping (optional)

  • 1/3 Cup Coconut palm sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1/2 Cup Gluten-free flour
  • 3 Tablespoons Coconut oil Solid

Instructions

Breakfast Cake

  • Preheat oven to 375° and oil a 9 by 9 in a baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl mix dry ingredients together except blueberries and set aside.
  • In a larger bowl whisk together oil and powdered sugar then what add remaining wet ingredients.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients, gently fold them together.
  • Allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes while you are prepping the topping.
  • Fold the blueberries into the rested batter and pour the batter into your prepared baking dish.
  • Bake at 375° for 30 to 40 minutes. The top should be brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean.

Crumb Topping

  • In a medium bowl mix together flour and sugar.
  • Using a pastry cutter or fork mix in the solid coconut oil until there are no large oil chunks. It should be similar to a sand consistency.

Notes

For the crumb topping, coconut oil can be replaced with vegan butter.
To substitute the yogurt use 1/4 cup non-dairy milk mixed with 1 tbsp lemon juice. Set aside to create buttermilk.
To powder the sugar, measure the amount first and blend it in a high-speed blender until the sugar becomes powder. Powdering the sugar creates a smoother cake.
Turbinado sugar can be substituted with granulated sugar, I suggest powdering it as well.
Store cake in an airtight container on the counter for 2 days or refrigerator for up to 7 days.
