“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.
