• ½ cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Zest of 1 lemon (optional for a citrus kick)

• Rubber spatula
• Measuring cups and spoons
• 9-inch round cake pan (or similar)
• Parchment paper (optional for easy release)

Suggested Substitutions and Additions

How to Make Blueberry Oat Flour Morning Bliss

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is crucial—it ensures your cake bakes evenly and achieves that tender, moist crumb. While that’s heating up, grease your round cake pan with a bit of coconut oil to prevent sticking. If you’d like, line the bottom with parchment paper for extra assurance.

Step 2: Combine the Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, honey (or maple syrup), eggs, and melted coconut oil. The golden mixture should blend beautifully, making your kitchen smell heavenly. Add in the vanilla extract for that added depth of flavor.

Step 3: Whisk Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, mix the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. If you’re feeling adventurous, adding the zest of one lemon will elevate the flavor to new heights! Lemon and blueberries are a match made in heaven, and you’ll enjoy the fragrant aroma that fills the air.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until combined, being careful not to overmix. You want just enough glutes to create a tender crumb, not a dense cake. Fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5: Bake the Bliss

Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and gently smooth out the top. Sprinkle a few extra blueberries on top; trust me, they will create a gorgeous topping while baking.

Place the pan in your preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when a toothpick comes out clean. The edges will turn a lovely golden brown, while the center will remain fluffy and soft.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Once you pull the cake out of the oven, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve plain, or top it with a dollop of yogurt or a sprinkling of powdered sugar for a delightful touch.

What to Serve with Blueberry Oat Flour Morning Bliss
