Blueberry Yogurt Bread
This recipe. Thiiiiiiiis recipe. Has created more excitement from friends and clients than any other thing I’ve made them as of late. Needless to say it’s pretty popular! I first made this cake a few weeks ago for a birthday brunch my boyfriend and I hosted. It was for my birthday…because the best present for me is cooking for the people I love! And this breakfast cake was the star of the show.
I made the cake toward the end of the party and we all enjoyed this cake perfectly warm. The top was crunchy from the oat, hemp and turbinado sugar sprinkle. The middle was soft and springy from the almond flour and the berries burst with warmth and sweetness. Everyone, literally, everyone asked for the recipe at the end of the party. All my clients I’ve made this for since then have also asked for the recipe. We had friends in town last week and the slices barely last past our hellos. It’s simple, it’s delicious and it’s just the right time to use the last the season’s blueberries. So grab the last of the blueberries this week (in the Midwest at least) and whip up a batch. It doesn’t need to be your birthday for you to enjoy this as much as I did!
happy, healthy eating!
