  
Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Cake
   
(9 servings)
   
		- 1 cup all-purpose flour
 - 
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
 - 
3/4 cup quick cooking oats
 - 
1/3 cup sugar
 - 
2 teaspoons baking powder
 -  
1/4 teaspoon salt
 -  
3/4 cup low-fat milk (soy milk works fine)
 -  
1/4 cup applesauce
 -  
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
 -  
1 cup frozen blueberries - partially thawed
  
		This is an egg-free coffee cake.  It also has the potential to be dairy-free if you opt for soy milk.  I found it to be moist and filling with lots of blueberry flavor.  I added 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients for a touch more flavor.  I also drizzled on some icing that I made from 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 Tablespoon milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla.  It's a bit more dense than your average coffee cake, but as far as healthier morning breads go, this one gets a thumbs-up.  (This recipe was submitted in 2007.  It was tested and photographed in May 2014.)
 
  
 
 
  
How To Make A Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Cake
  
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  
 
In medium bowl, combine the two flours, oats, sugar, baking powder and salt. 
 
In a separate smaller bowl, combine soy milk, applesauce and cornstarch.  
 
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened.  Fold in blueberries. 
 
Spoon batter into a non-stick 8 x 8 baking pan.  
 
Bake 25 to 30 minutes until a toothpick or knife-tip inserted in the center comes out clean (except for maybe a little bit of blue from the berries). 
 
Allow cake to cool at least 10 minutes.  Slice into 9 even-sized squares.
 
  
 
  
 
 
  
  
		
		
		Kind of a cross between a coffee cake and a breakfast bar.  Each serving has about 150 calories.  Enjoy!
