“Snack”urday: Blueberry Buckle

I am on a baked good kick. I love the smell of fresh baked goodies in the house. I sent a cake to work with my hubby today, that way I wasn’t the one consuming the calories. Baking to me is therapeutic. I love baking cakes, cookies, just desserts in general. Washing all the dishes is another story, but I love to bake.

This Blueberry Buckle recipe was in an old cookbook I was looking at the other day. I have adjusted it to be gluten free and dairy free if necessary, but it is a classic. It is like a Blueberry Muffin but in Cake form. Simply blissful with a cup of warm coffee in the morning.

TIPS

Gluten Free- Use Gluten Free AP Flour mix and 1 tsp xanthum gum. Buckle pictured is actually gluten free.
Dairy Free- Use Dairy free margarine or Butter flavored Crisco, and milk substitute.

Dough will be thick when you mix it up. Don’t panic.
If you use frozen blueberries like I did, expect a darker buckle due to the color of the batter changing.

Thank you for posting this recipe! I made it yesterday, and it is wonderful! Reminds me of a Coffee Kuchen I used to make–but with blueberries. Hope my company enjoys it as much as I do. My family also loved your strawberry pretzel salad, lemon berry bars, bbq cola chicken, & grits casserole. You are becoming my go-to site when I don’t know what to cook
