Sunday Brunch - Blueberry Coffee Cake

Oh, another long absence. My routine for writing has been out of whack, but this delicious morsel was too good to not write about. Adapted from this recipe: Everybody Calm Down












INGREDIENTS: 
1/2 cup Vegetable Shortening

1 cup Sugar (cane, coconut, etc.)

2 Egg Replacers (Ener-G is what I use)

1/2 tsp Vanilla

1 tsp Baking Soda

Pinch of Salt

1 cup Sour Supreme (or other sour cream substitute)

2 cups flour
1 cup Blueberries
3/4 cup Flour
1/4 cup Brown Sugar
2 tsp Cinnamon
1/3 cup Vegan Margarine, melted

Combine shortening through 2 cups flour in a mixer, adding in that order. Pour 1/2 of the batter into a 9x13 baking pan and sprinkle the blueberries across the batter, then add second half of batter. Combine 3/4 cup flour, brown sugar, cinnamon together and add melted margarine and create a crumble; sprinkle on top of cake. Bake at 325F for 45 minutes to one hour (test with knife in centre, ours took much longer)
 

Sunday Brunch: Spiced Blueberry-Banana Bread

I adapted this recipe from How it all Vegan's banana bread.

Ingredients:
3 very ripe large bananas (4 smaller)
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/3 cup blueberries (I used frozen)
1/3 cup oil (it calls for 1/2 cup, but try upping the quantity of bananas to work with less oil)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

Preheat oven to 375F.

Mix flour, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, mash bananas with oil and sugar until smooth. Pour wet mixture into dry and add the chocolate chips and blueberries. Mix all together until just mixed and pour into a lightly greased loaf pan. Bake for 40 minutes (or until you can put a fork in and it comes out clean)
