Blueberry Breakfast Cake (Almond Flour)

almondflourcakeblueberries Simple to make Healthy Blueberry Breakfast Cake is something between bake, cake and breakfast casserole. It's a soft, sweet and absolutely delicious gluten-free treat.

4 large eggs
½ cup milk
¼ cup Monk Fruit Sweetener with Erythritol (Granular)
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
3 cups almond flour
4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C/160°C fan, Gas Mark 4) and spray large 9x13" baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.

In a large bowl, add eggs, milk, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, salt and vanilla extract. Whisk really well until smooth. Add 2¾ cups almond flour reserving ¼ cup. Mix well with a spatula. The batter will be thick.

In a separate large bowl, add blueberries and sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup almond flour. If blueberries are fresh, make sure to rinse and drain well. Stir gently to coat blueberries in flour. It prevents berries from sinking to the bottom.

Add flour-coated blueberries to the batter and gently stir them in. The batter will be thick. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and level gently with a spatula. Bake for 40 minutes or until it starts to turn golden brown and the toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and slice with a bread knife into 8 slices. Then gently loosen around the edges and on the bottom with flat spatula.

Serve warm or cold with plain yogurt and a bit of maple syrup if you wish. Blueberry cake was sweet enough for me but kids went for more syrup of course.

Makes 8 servings.
