Whole Wheat Fat-Free Vegan Blueberry Breakfast Cake Recipe
My parents are visiting from the East coast and I wanted to make something for breakfast that was easy, comforting and would last the duration of their stay. Well, the cake only survived one breakfast, but that's okay because my parents absolutely loved this cake!
My Dad even made a comment in the afternoon about how good breakfast was. Now that's a compliment! You could easily add a crumb topping to this cake to make it more reminiscent of "coffee" cake (sugar + cinnamon + flour + oil or applesauce) but the crumbs adds extra calories and I like keeping breakfast fairly light.
