I don’t think it’s a secret that I love to bake. And my family loves me for it. At least for the things that turn out well.
While I love to create delicious confections, I also want to insert as much nutrition as I can and as little sugar as I can get away with into my creations. That’s the mentality behind this delicious blueberry breakfast cake.
The base of this blueberry breakfast cake is not overly sweet and quite substantial without being heavy. The blueberries make it feel like dessert while the coconut macaroon topping brings the dish together.
I love how many nutrient rich foods I was able to put in here: coconut, butter, blueberries, even fiber-rich psyllium! This cake would be perfect for breakfast or brunch, or even with tea or coffee.
- Cake:
- butter – 1/2 cup
- coconut flour – 1/2 cup
- psyllium husk flakes – 1/4 cup
- flax meal – 1/3 cup
- eggs – 4
- honey – 1/4 cup
- salt – 1/2 teaspoon
- baking powder – 1 teaspoon
- Filling:
- fresh blueberries – 1 pint
- water – 2-3 tablespoons
- arrowroot starch – 1 tablespoon
- Coconut Macaroon Topping:
- unsweetened coconut flakes – 1-1/2 cups
- egg white – 1
- honey – 2 tablespoons
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease an 8 inch by 8 inch glass baking dish with coconut oil.
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Cook until the butter browns and becomes fragrant, but not burnt. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rest of the cake ingredients and mix well. Stir in the browned butter. Spread in the prepared pan.
- To making the filling, combine the blueberries and water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer 5 minutes or so. Stir in the arrowroot to thicken and spread the filling mixture over the cake batter.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the coconut macaroon topping ingredients and crumble evenly over top of cake.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
Looks delish! What can I use instead of physillum husk flour which I do not have? Thanks!
I think flax would work.
You’re right Heather I can just imagine this with a nice latte! Yummmyy
Wow. This looks gorgeous! Almost too beautiful too eat.
