Blueberry coffee cake

I'm not a big "baker," but I do enjoy making a simple dessert once in a while. This morning, I thought a soft and crumbly coffee cake would serve us well with a fresh cup of coffee.

I had a box of baking mix and on the side was a blueberry coffee cake recipe. It was an easy recipe that called for egg, oil, sugar, blueberries and the mix. I substituted the oil with apple sauce. Not only is apple sauce a healthy alternative, it also makes cake and cookies softer. I stirred in all of the ingredients and baked it in an 8x8 pan at 350-degrees for 45 minutes.

I love the smell of goodies in the oven, especially when fruit is an ingredient. The blueberries were extremely fragrant and the cake made our house smell like a bakery. We enjoyed a piece of cake while it still was warm. The apple sauce made it very moist, too.

Ingredients:

1 egg

1 cup buttermilk

3 tablespoons apple sauce

2 1/2 cups Trader Joe's Multigrain Baking & Pancake Mix

1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries
