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.
