Some of my favorite classic breakfast items are the ones packed with blueberries. Blueberry waffles, blueberry muffins, blueberry scones, etc. etc. But most of these breakfast goodies are packed with sugars and extra empty calories. Blueberries themselves are literally bursting with nutrients and flavor while being very low in calories. Here is a recipe that I have messed with over the years to create a satisfying blueberry breakfast 'cake' that packs a healthy punch with under 140 calories per delicious square.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup flour
1 cup wheat flour
1/3 cup splenda
3/4 cup quick cooking oats
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup low fat vanilla soy milk
1/4 cup no sugar added applesauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Directions:
*Preheat oven to 400 degrees
*In medium mixing bowl combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder and salt.
*In another bowl combine soy milk and cornstarch (until cornstarch is fully dissolved) then add in applesauce.
*Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until moistened (will be slightly lumpy)
*Fold in the blueberries
*Spoon batter into a non stick 8x8 baking pan (spray lightly with cooking spray)
*Bake 20-25 minutes (cool 5-10 minutes)
*Cut into 9 squares
