Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or neutral oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Spread blueberries evenly on the bottom of the pan and drizzle with maple syrup.
- In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat pastry flour, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix non-dairy milk and apple cider vinegar. Let sit for a minute to curdle.
- Add oil and vanilla extract to the milk mixture, then pour into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
- Pour the batter over the blueberries in the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a plate. Carefully remove parchment paper and let cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Use frozen blueberries without thawing to prevent them from becoming mushy.
- You can substitute spelt or oat flour for the whole wheat pastry flour.
- Top with coconut whipped cream or vegan yogurt for an extra treat.
