Here we go friends, another gluten-free breakfast or brunch cake ready for the holidays. This lovely tea cake combines the natural sweetness of blueberries with just a touch of real maple syrup and applesauce for a cake that works any time of the day. Made with a combination of organic, non-gmo cornmeal and millet flour, our Cornmeal Millet Blueberry Crumb Cake is gluten-free, diary-free and delicious.
Crumble Topping Option:
Adding a crumb topping to our Cornmeal Millet Blueberry Crumb cake is optional but definitely adds a lovely sweetness. Many people have grown accustomed to the overly sweet treats and cakes offered at most coffee and tea shops. Although our collective taste buds have been jaded over the years, I’m attempting to bring back the old-fashioned tea cake in hopes of providing a nice balance your friends and family will love. The added crumble on top, made with coconut palm sugar and nuts, typically pleases most. 🙂
I hope everyone is enjoying the foods of the season and remembering to take a break for a quick cup of tea with friends. Remember, the magic of the season is hanging out with the ones we love.
Much love,
Kris Kelly
