Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Blueberry Crumb Coffeecake

[heart_this] · Mar 30, 2009 · 63 Comments

Blueberry Crumb Coffeecake

Last week the food blogging sphere was filled with some amazing looking blueberry coffeecakes which was perfect timing as I had recently found some blueberries in my freezer. I decided to go with this recipe as it is one of my favorites for baked goods like this. I like that it uses lots of good stuff like whole wheat flour and rolled oats. I even used whole wheat flour in to make the crumb topping. The banana and yogurt keep the coffeecake nice and moist while also cutting down on the amount of butter required. Maple goes really well with blueberries and it finished this coffeecake off perfectly. I added even more maple flavour by using maple sugar in the crumb topping instead of regular sugar. The maple blueberry crumb coffeecake turned out amazing! It was nice and light and moist and full of maple and blueberry flavour. Now I am looking forward to eating this coffeecake for breakfasts all week.

    This recipe should be illegal to possess, make and especially spread over the internet! I just made this cake and have already eaten the third slice, still warm. I can not stop eating and this can not be healthy at 23:30h. 😉

    Thank you for sharing these very good ideas with the yoghurt and everything.
