Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour

- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cups Low-fat buttermilk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cups Sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, and low-fat buttermilk. Whisk in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Take care not to overmix.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
In a small bowl, mix the sliced almonds, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the cake into 8 pieces and serve. Enjoy it plain or with a dollop of low-fat yogurt for a delightful treat!
