I know it’s almost the end of the month and I’m a little late to the game, but July is National Blueberry Month!!!

To celebrate the month of the antioxidant rich blueberry, I bring you a blueberry buckle that won’t make you want to loosen your belt buckle!

Made with coconut oil, whole wheat flour and loads of blueberries of course! Slightly sweetened with maple syrup and topped with an oat crumble, this blueberry buckle would pair great with a cup of coffee on a hot July morning!

3 cups fresh blueberries Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees, grease a 9 inch cake pan with oil or cooking spray and set aside. In a small bowl; mix together oats, sugar and cinnamon. Add coconut oil and mix until crumbly. Set aside. In a large bowl; sift together whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl; whisk together maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Fold in blueberries. (note: cake batter is thick, similar to cookie dough. You may need to use hands to fold in blueberries, don't be shy!)
