Vegan Blueberry Buckle – No Oil Added!

Vegan Blueberry Buckle - No Oil Added!

It’s blueberry season! I love pie, but I’m usually too lazy to make a pie crust most nights. If you haven’t heard of a buckle before it has a cake bottom that’s topped with lots of blueberries and then finished off with an oat crumble.

Since I know many of you are on oil-free diets I adapted this recipe to be oil-free as well as soy-free and nut-free. It does use sugar, but you could experiment with the recipe to use your favorite sweetener.

You could also use a gluten-free baking mix in place of the whole wheat pastry flour and make it gluten-free too.

You layer fresh blueberries over the cake batter and then top that with the oat crumble. Then just bake and eat!

You could make this with any berry you have on hand, but it’s actually usually made with blueberries. I’m thinking of trying one with peaches and use vanilla extract in place of the lemon oil.

Vegan Lemon Blueberry Buckle - No Oil Added!

This is a cake that thinks it might be a coffeecake. A buckle is a cake that's usually studded with fresh blueberries and has a crisp-like topping.

    This was so good! I’m always looking for oil free baking recipes and I couldn’t believe the texture and flavors of this one. I couldn’t stop eating it, and as a bonus, it’s pretty easy to make too. Thank you.
    P.S. I can’t get the stars to register but this is a definite five star.

    This is by far the best dessert recipe I’ve made in a long time. You can’t tell it’s oil free, the cake has a wonderful texture and the crumble is perfect. I’ve been making this since you first posted it and everyone loves it (even my non vegan friends). Definitely a perfect dessert for summer or any time. I agree with the above comment. Definitely five stars.

    Great combination of moist cake, crumble and juicy berries. I baked it the full 40 minutes to get the center cooked. It’s disappearing really fast!
