Gluten Free Maple Blueberry Cornmeal Cake With Oat Crumble

March 12, 2021

Imagine. You walk off the school bus after an exhausted yet fun and full day of education in kindergarten to CAKE! I mean, after you walk 1/4 mile down your driveway in the Spring snow without a coat and a dog that just rolled in his own poop. oh the joys of CAKE!

I love these types of cake. I mean you can have it for breakfast, brunch, snack, dessert…all of the above.

It has blueberries in it so its healthy. Speaking of healthy – there isn’t any processed sugar in this. Maple syrup is King (actually QUEEN) here. The cornmeal adds a nice texture, the cinnamon and lemon zest are perfect…along with coconut cream – yes, seriously, get it and use it.

Let’s make some cake.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. Butter or spray a 8 inch squash pan and set aside.
In a small bowl combine the dry ingredients: flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt & cinnamon. In a stand mixer bowl combine the butter and maple syrup. Stir on medium/low speed for 1 minute. Add 1 egg at a time, stirring for 15 second. Add vanilla extract and lemon zest, stir for 15 seconds and scarp the sides down. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture and stir to just combine, then add 1/2 of the coconut cream and stir just to combine. Repeat this pattern until all is finished – ending with the flour mixture. Don’t over mix – just stir to combine. Turn mixer off and fold in the blueberries carefully.
Add batter to the prepared baking dish. Spread around so that is even and gets into the corners.
Prepare the crumble in a small bowl. Combine all ingredients – using your fingers or a fork press the butter into the flour and oats until it is combine. Sprinkle over the top of the batter.
Bake the cake for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
