1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
1 cup fresh blueberries (or any fruit of your choice)
Optional: ¼ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds) for added crunch
For the Glaze (optional):
¼ cup powdered erythritol or coconut sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1-2 tbsp water (as needed)
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan or use a non-stick spray.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the applesauce, melted coconut oil, eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in Fruit: Gently fold in the blueberries and nuts if using.
Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare Glaze (Optional): For the glaze, whisk together the powdered erythritol or coconut sugar with lemon juice and enough water to reach a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
