Blueberry Coffee Cake!

Thursday had a whole lot of goodness going on!

A little planking....

I got up to 3 minutes! Working on getting ready for the plank off with my husband this Saturday :)

Some special time building Legos with Megan...

And I made the most insanely delicious Blueberry Coffee Cake! I would love to share it with you!!

I gathered the ingredients...

First, I whisked whole wheat flour, baking soda and salt into a large bowl.

Next, with my electric mixer, I creamed the butter and honey for 2 minutes...

Then I added the eggs, one at a time...

Next, I turned down the speed of the mixer and added a portion of the flour mixture, followed by half of the buttermilk, then another portion of the flour mixture. Finally, add the remainder of the buttermilk and the last of the flour mixture.

Lastly, toss the blueberries with a teaspoon of flour and add to the mixture.

Pour mixture into a 13x9 inch pan. I prepared the pan with coconut oil. Sprinkle the top with a tiny bit of cinnamon sugar and bake!

Bake for 45-55 minutes and serve with fresh blueberries + a sprinkle of powdered sugar!

SO GOOD. 

I had to cut the kiddos off from eating it. NO MORE. ALL DONE :)

This is awesome for brunch or dessert. Even for a snack, as it is not too sweet (you don't have to add the powdered sugar).

I took out the white sugar (except for the teaspoon with the cinnamon sugar for the topping) and added honey. Instead of white flour, I used whole wheat.

Enjoy!
