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
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.
