Loaded Oats N' Blueberry Breakfast Cake


       My mom makes this cake all the time at home and with students of her home-ec class (6-8th graders, so come on, anyone can do it!) and it's great for breakfast........or dessert ;)



        Of course she has adapted the recipe to include whole wheat flour and oats, and she doubled the usual amount of blueberries, so although it is considered "cake" there is still good nutritional value! She is so good at altering recipes and making things healthy, but they still taste really good. It's moist, flavorful and sweet, and paired with a glass of milk...there isn't much better!


With sweet, juicy blueberries in every bite, it's such a delicious treat!
