While many of us are still hiding at home, I figured now was the perfect time to start a easy healthy brunch recipes series. If you’re missing all the delicious ways of your past; you can still cook the same fun brunch foods you loved with wholesome and nutritious ingredients! This Paleo Lemon Blueberry Cake is no exception. It’s full of warm blueberries and a zing of lemon zest; the perfect brunch choice for summer.

This dish serves about four, so make it with your family at home or serve for a friend or two! It’s everything you love about a typical coffee cake or breakfast cake and more!  

Picking the Right Blueberries

One of the two most important ingredients in this recipe is blueberries! Choosing the right ones can really make or break the flavor. So, there are a few things you may want to keep in mind. So start, opt for organic blueberries when available. Blueberries are #17 in the EWG’s extended Dirty Dozen™ list (for pesticides) because of their thin skins.

To help keep the flavor and texture of your breakfast cake just right, try to find blueberries that are plump, firm, dry, smooth skinned, and any size other than the teeny tiny ones. The color should be a deep blue/purple/black with zero pink as this shows a sign that they have been prematurely picked. They are best stored in the refrigerator and washed directly before us.

Why Coconut Flour?

The second more important ingredient is the flour! Coconut flour is used often chosen out of many alternative and gluten-free flours because of its versatility – its allowed in the vast majority of special diets – vegan, keto, gluten free, paleo, etc.). It’s high in healthy fats and fiber, and it’s known for its low glycemic index in addition to being gluten free, grain free, and low in carbs.

It does absorb more liquid in comparison to other gluten-free flours; so make sure to follow the recipe ingredients closely! This Paleo Lemon Blueberry Recipe Cake follows the typical ratio of coconut flour for cakes 1:4 (coconut flour:regular flour) and the standard one egg minimum per every ¼ cup of coconut flour.

Paleo Lemon Blueberry Cake

Paleo lemon blueberry cake makes one of many options for easy healthy brunch recipes. Make your dessert or brunch much healthier, while keeping it simple!
Prep Time25 mins
Cook Time20 mins
Total Time45 mins
Servings: 4

Ingredients

Cake

  • ½ cup organic coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 5 eggs, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup raw honey
  • ¼ cup coconut oil melted
  • ¼ cup full fat coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 cup blueberries

Topping

  • 1/3 cup organic tapioca flour
  • 3 tablespoons organic coconut sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil chilled

(optional Vanilla Glaze)

  • 2 tablespoons organic coconut butter
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Sift together coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt in a small bowl.
  • Whisk together the eggs, honey, coconut oil, coconut milk, vanilla, and lemon zest in a separate large bowl. Once mixed, use a whisk to add and mix the coconut flour mixture. You’ll need to let it sit for about five until the coconut flour absorbs the moisture, then stir again until fully incorporated. Fold in the blueberries.
  • With a non-stick (coconut) spray or coconut oil, grease an 8×8 glass pan. Add the batter and then bake for 10 minutes.

Topping

  • While the cake is baking, mix all dry ingredients together in a small bowl. Combine with the coconut oil using a fork. *You may find using your hands is helpful if the coconut oil has hardened too much (the warmth of your hands will help).
  • When done baking, remove the cake from oven, then sprinkle on the topping. Bake for 15 additional minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

(optional Vanilla Glaze)

  • Add all ingredients to a small saucepan. Heat and stir on low until combined, then remove from heat. Once its cooled, drizzle over top of baked cake.
