Blueberry Breakfast Cake from Happy Herbivore

Most weekdays, I have a green smoothie and a bagel for breakfast.  I am out of bagels this week, so I decided to switch it up by making this Blueberry Breakfast Cake from Happy Herbivore.

Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup light brown sugar

1/4 cup raw sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup non-dairy milk (I used almond milk)

1 cup blueberries, frozen

Steps

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

In a large bowl, whisk flour, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, and baking powder together.

Add applesauce, sugars, extract, and non-dairy milk.  Mix until jut combined, adding a little extra non-dairy milk if necessary.

Gently fold in blueberries

Transfer to a 9 x 9 greased or nonstick pan (or, as I did, a cupcake/muffin pan).

Sprinkle top(s) with brown sugar and bake 30-35 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

I used date sugar in place of raw sugar, which may have impacted the taste/sweetness a bit.  I’m not sure, as this was my first time trying out date sugar.  I bought it a few weeks ago and have been waiting to try it, so I figured Why not!  The conversion for this recipe was 3 tbsp date sugar instead of 1/4 cup raw sugar.
