Lemon Blueberry Buckle with Empower Bar Streusel

Jenna Foti

Ingredients
  

For the Batter

  • cups blanched almond flour
  • 4 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (pink Himalayan or kosher salt)
  • cup coconut sugar
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 2 whole eggs at room temperature (vegan option: flaxseed egg 1 tablespoon + 1 1/2 tablespoons water)
  • 3 - 5 ounces almond milk (as needed)
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • cups blueberries

For the Topping

  • 2 - 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • cup Empower Bars, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

For Coconut Yogurt & Lemon Drizzle

  • 100 grams coconut yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Sift the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Beat 1/4 cup coconut oil, coconut sugar, lemon zest, and eggs with an electric mixer or stand mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Next, gently pour in the almond milk (start with 3 ounces) and mix/beat again until fluffy.
  • Add the almond/coconut flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir again. *Note – When using coconut flour, the batter will be thicker. If it’s too thick, add 1-2 more ounces of milk and mix again.
  • Finally, fold in the blueberries and spread batter into prepared pan.
  • Mix coconut sugar, 1/3 cup Empower Bars, cinnamon, and coconut oil in a bowl and crumble with hands. Spread this on top of batter, then lightly press topping into batter using fingertips.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden on the edges and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 35 minutes. For best results, cover with foil the last 5-10 minutes to prevent burning. Let cool or place in fridge to chill before slicing.
  • To make the drizzle, whisk together the yogurt and honey/maple syrup in a small bowl. Add as much sweetener as you feel is necessary - it really depends on how tangy you want it!
  • Drizzle over top of buckle or spoon onto individual slices.
