Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh blueberries
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Coconut sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a bit of butter.
Spread the blueberries evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Drizzle the maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla extract over the blueberries. Gently toss to coat, then spread them out evenly again.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, coconut sugar, and salt.
Add the melted butter and almond milk to the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick batter forms. The batter will be slightly lumpy, which is fine.
Spoon the batter over the blueberries in dollops, then use a spatula to spread it out gently, covering most (but not necessarily all) of the blueberries.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling at the edges.
Allow the dump cake to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will help the juices thicken slightly.
Serve warm on its own or with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a more indulgent touch.
