Why You’ll Love Blueberry Oat Cake

This Blueberry Oat Cake is a total crowd-pleasing breakfast 🌅. As written, the recipe makes one cake, but you can easily scale up to serve your whole family or batch cook for the week. This breakfast cake is really satiating and wholesome, it will keep you full until lunch, without the dreaded sugar crash 📉 that comes with most baked goods. Plus, this couldn’t be simpler to prepare, just throw it all in the blender and bake!

How to Prepare

🔥 First, preheat the oven to 375F (190C).

🍋 Next, add the oats, lemon zest, baking powder, honey, egg, vanilla extract, and nut milk to a blender and then blend until completely incorporated, about 1 minute.

🫗 Now, pour the batter into a ramekin or you can divide it among the wells of a muffin tin.

🫐 Then top the batter with fresh blueberries.

⏲️ Finally, bake for 30 minutes or until the center of the cake is set and no longer jiggly.

Ingredients for a recipe are arranged on a white marble surface, including a bowl of blueberries, oats, an egg, honey, lemon, milk, baking powder, and vanilla extract. - 4

Nonna’s Tip 🫐

Any oven-safe dish will work for this Blueberry Breakfast Cake, as long as the batter fills no more than 3/4 of the dish since the batter will rise and expand in the oven.

Variations and Substitutions for Blueberry Oat Cake

  1. For a subtle nutty flavor, use almond extract instead of vanilla extract.
  2. For extra sweetness, garnish the baked cakes with a bit of powdered sugar .
  3. To make this recipe vegan or plant-based, swap out the 🥚 egg for a flax egg or other vegan egg substitute. Use agave or maple syrup instead of honey and your favorite non-dairy milk.
  4. You can use any plant-based 🥛 milk (or even dairy milk here). I prefer unsweetened almond milk.
  5. Feel free to use your sweetener of choice here: honey can be swapped with agave, 🍁 maple syrup or date syrup.
  6. Instead of blueberries, you could make this recipe using raspberries , blackberries or baby 🍓 strawberries.

Common Questions

Perhaps your cake didn’t rise because your baking powder has expired. Please check the expiration date before mixing into the batter. Expired baking powder will not help your recipe rise properly in the oven, and you’ll have a sad, deflated cake.

Yes, you certainly can make the Blueberry Breakfast Cake vegan. Simply swap out the egg for a flax egg or other vegan egg substitute. Use agave or maple syrup instead of honey and your favorite non-dairy milk.

I love my Vitamix Blender ! The size is perfect for my recipes and it’s super powerful. The quality is simply second to none.

You can use any plant-based milk (or even dairy milk here). I prefer unsweetened almond milk.

Feel free to use your sweetener of choice in this Bluberry Breakfast Cake: honey can be swapped with agave, maple syrup, date syrup, etc.

Raspberries or baby (or chopped) strawberries would be delicious instead of blueberries.
