Blueberry buckles are a classic American dessert that combines a sweet, buttery cake batter with a layer of juicy, plump blueberries. The result is a tender, moist cake with a slightly crispy topping and a burst of blueberry flavor in every bite. While traditional blueberry buckles are made with white flour, whole grain blueberry buckles offer a healthier alternative that is just as delicious. With their hearty texture and nutty flavor, whole grains add an extra layer of complexity to this classic dessert. Whole grain blueberry buckles are a great way to enjoy a sweet treat without sacrificing nutrition, and they are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

WHOLE-GRAIN BLUEBERRY BUCKLE



Whole-Grain Blueberry Buckle image

A buckle is an old-fashioned cake that has a crumble topping and fruit that makes the batter buckle, or sink, as it bakes. Or at least that's what all the recipes I've read say is supposed to happen. When I made the cake the blueberries didn't really cause it to buckle at all, they just formed a layer on top of the cake. This is now a favorite dessert. It's not traditional at all, as I use whole-wheat flour, and oats and quinoa flour in the topping.

Categories     Berry     Fruit     Dessert     Bake     Blueberry     Nectarine     Summer     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 17

For the topping:
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
For the batter:
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened

1/4 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
2 cups blueberries, picked over and rinsed
2 nectarines, pitted and cut into 1-inch wedges
whipped cream or ice cream as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • Make the topping: In a small bowl blend together the butter, the sugar, the flour, the cinnamon, and the nutmeg until the mixture resembles coarse meal and chill the topping while making the batter.
  • Make the batter: In a small bowl with an electric mixer cream together the butter and the sugar and beat in the vanilla. In a small bowl stir together the baking powder, the flour, and the salt, beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture alternately with the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and fold in the blueberries and the nectarines.
  • Spread the batter in a well-buttered 10-by 2-inch round cake pan or 2-quart baking pan, sprinkle the topping evenly over it and bake the buckle in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean and the topping is crisp and golden.

  • Let the buckle cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the buckle to set and the flavors to meld.
