One Bowl Berry Coffee Cake

I had some berries they weren’t being eaten so I made this delicious berry cake. I had fresh berries but you could also use frozen. This cake is so easy to make, and you only need one bowl. I think it would also taste great with cranberries and lemon extract instead of almond.  One Bowl Berry Coffee Cake Makes 1 11x7” Cake Ingredients 2 cups fresh berries (I used blueberries and strawberries)  1/4 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup white sugar 1/4 cup butter, melted 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 2 large eggs 3/4 cup sour cream 1/4 cup milk 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup sliced or sliced almonds Brown sugar for topping Directions Preheat the oven to 350F and grease an 11”x7” baking dish.

Egg Free Banana Date Loaf (quick bread)

I took this Egg Free Date Muffin recipe and added bananas. Because the dates and the bananas are naturally sweet, I halved the amount of sugar (and used brown instead of white). It turned out GREAT!

 You could also use the recipe to make 12 muffins, just be sure to adjust the cooking time. 30 minutes should be plenty of time for muffins. Be sure to test with a toothpick.

 Use vegan butter or coconut oil to replace the butter and make this vegan. 


Egg Free Banana Date Loaf (quick bread) 
Makes 1 loaf or 12 muffins

Ingredients
  • 1 cup chopped dates
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/8 cup butter (vegan if desired), softened
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 3 medium bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 350F. Coat a loaf pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, mix dates, baking soda, sugar, butter, maple syrup and vanilla. Add boiling water and stir it up. Let cool for 10 or 15 minutes. Stir in the mashed bananas.
  • Mix flours together then stir in the date mixture until well combined. Pour into the loaf pan.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
  • You could add nuts to this. Everyone knows they go well with banana bread! You could probably substitute the dates with blueberries or chocolate chips but I haven't tried.
