Ingredients And Substitutions

These are the main ingredients and substitutions for Gluten Free Blueberry Coffee Cake. Scroll down to the recipe card for a full list of ingredients and instructions.

Milk Options: To keep this recipe dairy-free, use plant-based milk such as almond, coconut, oat, or cashew milk. If you’re not dairy-free, regular dairy milk works just as well.

Yogurt Choices: Coconut milk yogurt works great in this recipe, but any dairy-free or regular yogurt can be substituted based on your preference.

Leavening Agents: Baking powder and baking soda work together to help the loaf rise and achieve a fluffy texture.

Salt: A pinch of salt is essential to balance and enhance the flavors in the loaf.

Vanilla Extract: Adds a subtle and aromatic flavor that complements the sweetness of the loaf.

Sweetener Options: Coconut sugar adds a natural, earthy sweetness. Alternatively, use cane sugar, brown sugar, or monk fruit sweetener depending on your preference.

Flour Choices: For a gluten-free loaf, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend like Bob’s Red Mill or King Arthur’s. Regular all-purpose flour or oat flour can also be used if gluten-free is not required.

Blueberries: Use fresh or frozen blueberries for a burst of flavor and natural sweetness.

Streusel Topping: Made with melted vegan butter for a plant-based option. If vegan isn’t a concern, regular butter can be used instead.

How To Make

ONE: In a bowl, mix together to almond milk, yogurt, vanilla extract and coconut sugar.

TWO: Next, add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

THREE: Fold in the frozen blueberries and then add the batter to a prepared 8×8 baking dish.

FOUR: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, coconut sugar, salt and gluten free flour.

FIVE: Add crumbles to the top of the batter and press down slightly but firmly and bake.

SIX: Let cool for 20 minutes and then slice into. Enjoy as is, or serve with powdered sugar icing.
