We have not one, but three easy recipes from two different cakes to one cookie recipe, all featuring fresh blueberries whose ingredients you can easily substitute for a healthier dessert recipe.
1.Blueberry Loaf Cake(Serves 8)
Ingredients
- 190 gm all-purpose flour
- 100 gm granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 180 ml milk
- 60 ml vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 225 gm blueberries
- 1 tbsp sugar
Instructions
- Set your oven to preheat at 175°C. Then take an 8-inch loaf pan and grease it thoroughly. Dust it with flour, invert, and tap to get rid of the excess.
- Take a big bowl, and add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix and set aside.
- Take a separate bowl, and pour milk, vegetable oil, crack in the egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- Pour the flour mixture into the milk bowl and mix, just until the batter comes together. Take care not to overmix.
- Rinse the blueberries and pat them dry. Toss them with a teaspoon of flour to coat lightly. Fold them into your batter.
- Transfer the batter to the loaf pan, then sprinkle sugar evenly over the top.
- Bake the loaf for 60-70 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
- Carefully remove the loaf from the pan and place it on the cooling rack.
- Allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing and serving.
2.Blueberry Cookies(Makes 20 cookies)
Ingredients
For the crumble topping:
- 65 gm all-purpose flour
- 100 gm granulated sugar
- 55 gm butter, melted
- For the Cookies:
- 115 gm butter, softened
- 110 gm packed light brown sugar
- 100 gm granulated sugar
- 45 ml milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200 gm all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- ¼ tsp salt
- 185 gm fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the crumble topping. In a small bowl, mix the flour and sugar. Add the melted vegan butter and stir until you have a crumbly mixture. Place this in the refrigerator while you make the cookie dough.
- Preheat your oven to 175°C. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the soy milk and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until the mixture becomes fluffy and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie onto your prepared baking sheets.
- Slightly flatten each cookie dough ball to create a surface for the crumble topping.
- Take the crumble topping from the refrigerator and generously sprinkle it over each cookie, gently pressing it into the dough.
- Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. They're done when the edges are just barely turning golden.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
3.Blueberry Dump Cake(Makes 10 servings)
Ingredients
- 600 gm blueberries
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 85 gm blueberry gelatin
- 1 box (about 450 gm) cake mix
- 115 gm unsalted butter, melted
- 240 ml water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Then take a 9x13-inch baking dish and arrange the blueberries evenly across the bottom. Sprinkle the lemon zest over the blueberries.
- Open the box of blueberry gelatin and sprinkle the dry powder evenly over the blueberries. Do not stir.
- Next, take the dry cake mix and sprinkle it evenly over the gelatin-covered blueberries. Again, do not stir.
- Melt the butter in the microwave or a saucepan and drizzle it as evenly as possible over the cake mix layer.
- Pour the water over everything in the dish. Resist the urge to stir – the layers should remain separate. Place the dish in your preheated oven, uncovered.
- Bake for approximately 55 minutes. You'll know it's done when the top layer is golden brown.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
