Blueberry Breakfast Cakes.
Many moons ago (like… in September), I made individual pumpkin spice breakfast cakes. Remember those?
They were good.
I made them multiple days in a row.
I ate many of them.
They satisfied my super sweet teeth.
And they were healthy, because any time you use whole wheat flour it cancels out all butter and sugar in a recipe. My goal is simply to educate you.
Then I forgot about them. How sad.
But I thought about the cakes a few days ago, remembering their fluffiness and how they crumbled when my spoon so perfectly scooped up a bite. And I was able to breath life into a new breakfast cake.
This was made possible by the 4 pints of blueberries I absentmindedly tossed in my cart at the grocery store last week. I don’t really even love blueberries, unless we’re talking pancakes. And I really have no idea how we spend so much money on food.
Don’t you just want to dig in? It’s like a ginormous muffin. But it’s cake!
I highly suggest topping them with a blueberry glaze. Of course. If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been all over the glazes lately.
Yeah. That picture kind of ruined my placemat. Any tips on getting sugar glazes out from in between beads? I’m really not concerned.
This is such a fun breakfast. And for those of you oddballs who don’t like things very sweet, this cake is perfect. Not too sweet at all.

Blueberry Breakfast Cakes
adapted from pumpkin spice breakfast cakes
serves 2
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup Greek yogurt
1/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup fresh blueberries, tossed in flour
Preheat oven to 350.
Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add egg and mix until well combined. Add in vanilla and yogurt and stir. Mix dry ingredients together and add to batter, only mixing until just combined. Fold in blueberries.
Spray 2 ramekins with non-stick spray and pour batter into them equally. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Blueberry Glaze
1/2 cup of powdered sugar
3/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoons cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon milk
Add sugar to bowl and stir in heavy cream and vanilla until mixture resembles a thick batter. Add milk (one tablespoon at a time in case you need more), stirring until smooth – about 3-5 full minutes. Mixture may look lumpy at first but just continue to stir and it will come together. Continue to add liquid if needed to get desired consistency. Mash in a handful of blueberries.

I hope you didn’t eat breakfast yet.

I’m pretty sure I would go straight for the middle as well! These are beeeeyootiful.
These are so pretty! I love the way you present your food in the pictures. Irresistable! I can’t make these for breakfast today, but I will be bookmarking them for another time. Thanks! :-D
Thank you!
Whole wheat flour, blueberries and greek yogurt? these are super healthy;-)
Right?!
Breakfast isn’t for a while yet (about 11 hours), but I’m thinking maybe these would also be a great late-evening snack…….
By the way – I’ve just posted about a great Caramel Macchiato Cheesecake on my blog that you may like. Have a look if you get the chance. I wish my photos were as good as yours!
I think it would too! And oh my gosh that looks amazing!!
No I haven’t ate breakfast yet. But I don’t have any blueberries and I have to be at work in a half hour. :(
But I really want this cake! YUM!
Make it for dinner? ;)
Yessssss! I’m known as the ramekin dessert queen in my family for my tendency to bake individual desserts, so I’ll definitely be making this soon! I always have to skip pumpkin goodies because we don’t have canned pumpkin in Australia. Blueberry FTW!
Dessert for breakfast? I’m in! ;-)
I would say these were well worth ruining the placemat for! They look delish!
Wowza! These would make a great Sunday morning treat!
Wow! These look like they belong in a restaurant!
I want one right this very second :)
good grief i’m going to have to stop reading this blog or i’ll never get anything but baking and cooking done!
…not really. i like the food porn too much :)
Between this and the cookie bars, I’m set!

Good lookin’ stuff! Wish I had some…this protein bar just isn’t cutting it.
Btw, loving this set of pics. The one right before the recipe could not be more perfectly composed! Gorgeous.
Thank you! That means the world coming from you.
I think that glaze is totally worth the ruined placemat. I bet it makes the cake. As you can tell, I’m all about glazes as well.
“Yeah. That picture kind of ruined my placemat”<—– Hilarious, in that "i'm sorry that happened to you" kind of way.
I love blueberry muffins. They're my absolute favorite muffin. I would buy endless amounts of blueberries right now, but I'm crunching on the grocery budget to see if I can make it through this month. Next month is a different story.
I know! I’ve seen your posts. Clearly I’m not following your lead.
This breakfast cake looks freaking amazing! I wish I had those cute little bowls. Where did you get them??
They are just Corningware white ramekins!
I love, love, love blueberries. I always feel so good after eating them! Looks delicious.
Good thing I didn’t eat breakfast yet! Ah poo I don’t have any blueberries. Can’t wait to make these this weekend!
Ah, I love that last picture. Yummm!
I JUST made some of these!! (Different recipe I think) and I ADORED them. I love everything blueberry though. And your presentation rocked the socks off mine… I didnt even blog it! lol Great post!
Now I have a real URGENT need to get ramekins!! Those look amazing!!!!!
Such a good idea considering I’m home five days of the week for breakfast without the hubs, so I end up making breakfast for one. While various flavors of French toast I have created are awesome (and, ahem, I’ve got one coming up that you’re totally going to love) sometimes I need something else. Bookmarking this for when I actually get the ramekins! :D
Looks great Jess! I love blueberries, and I have 1.5 pounds of them from Trader Joe’s right now!
Me too~mmmmm…except mine are frozen. Our fridge is so packed with my stuff, my mother’s AND my sis’ family’s stuff. So I’m never guaranteed I’ll see any of MY stuff in between all that without it going bad haha. Oh! You probably meant yours is frozen too teeheee.
I haven’t had breakfast yet, and boy do I ever want one of these! I am heading out the door for an appointment, so I will have to wait and make these this weekend! YUM!
YES! Way to bring back the breakfast cakes. I would LOVE to make these when we have people staying over… anything that is individualized like this makes me so happy :) And I might add a little lemon sugar to the top!
Forget breakfast. I’m topping these with ice cream and calling it dessert! Or a mid-morning snack?
Looks wonderful! I’ve been all over glazes also! They are just sinful. Absolutely sinful.
Cakes for breakfast. We’re very ok with that.
I totally forgot about the pumpkin spice breakfast cakes and now I want both of these…. even though I just ate breakfast. Great photos Jess!
yum! I AM sad I already ate breakfast, but I don’t have any berries today anyway. These are going to be made this summer once we have some fresh berries!
SO making these and the pumpkin ones in the VERY near future. YUM!
Where’s mine!? ;) Those look divine!
I think I ate it. ;)
a little bit of heaven in a bowl. wishing i hadn’t eaten breakfast already!
I haven’t seen any blueberries around these parts lately, but when I do…!
Blueberry breakfast foods are my fave. And when you eat out of a ramekin it feels so fancy and yet prevents you from overindulging…sometimes ;)
looks awesome!!!! whole wheat makes it healthy for sure!!!! =D
I already ate my chocolate waffles for breakfast, but this looks delicious!
Wow… I wish I had your breakfast!
Ohhh, this looks incredible – gorgeous!
JESSICA!! These look absolutely delicious. Like an even better blueberry muffin. I can’t wait to try them :)
Oh yum! I love huge blueberry muffins! Now I need a muffin!
What a perfect way to start your day.
These are just so cute! I love them :)
I did already eat breakfast and I’m ready for round 2! I’m not usually a fan of sweet muffins/treats for breakfast since they don’t seem to fill me up, but these look delicious. Paired with an egg or two and I’d be set!
sigh…i knew i should have read blogs before breakfast. just wanted to let you know i look forward to reading your posts every morning :) gives me my sugar high for the day!
Thank you so much Lindsay!
I’m one of those oddballs. :-P
I forgive you!
Yummm….Sadly, no blueberries in this house, but I do have pumpkin still- which I have been determined to use all Winter not just for the holidays or Fall. And as for your placemat…just rinse it, those beads are glass tied together with thread so it could handle a rinse. Being a beader, I am jealous of the placemat!!!
Dear Jessica,
The way you turn blueberries, cake, and breakfast into one harmonious relationship really just melts my heart and feeds my appetite. I also think of it as a wonderful way to “bulk up” to keep warm during these snowstorms.
Sincerely,
I-need-bigger-stretchy-pants
:)
I love you.
Those look fantastic!!!
Love how you hollowed out the middle of it! But I love the crispy edges too. And I love blueberries, but you are right, they are super expensive right now :)
