Ingredients

    Dry Ingredients:

    1 cup quick or whole oats (not instant)
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    1/2 cup vegan sugar
    2 tsp baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1 1/2 teaspoon Ener-G Egg Replacer or substitute
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
    1/2 teaspoon salt

    Blueberries:

    1 1/4 cup blueberries, divided

    Wet Ingredients:

    1/2 cup water
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Topping:

    2 tablespoons coarse sugar, such as demerara or raw sugar
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon


Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly spray or wipe the bottom and sides of a 8 X 8-inch glass baking pan with oil or cooking spray. (You may use metal, but the baking time will vary.)

Put the oats into a blender and grind until they are fine. Stir a couple of times to make sure that they’re uniformly ground.

Mix the oat flour with the other dry ingredients. Stir in 1/4 cup of the blueberries.

Put the remaining cup blueberries into a blender or food processor with the water. Pulse (quickly turn on and off) to coarsely chop the blueberries, but do not completely puree. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in blueberry mixture and other wet ingredients. Stir until moistened and completely combined, but don’t over-mix. Pour into the prepared pan (batter will be thick). Mix together the sugar and cinnamon topping, and sprinkle it over the top.

Bake for 25-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes. Eat and celebrate!

For a slightly lighter cake, add one tablespoon canola oil with the wet ingredients. This adds 14 calories and 1.5 grams of fat per serving.
