    FAQ

    Does blueberry coffee cake need to be refrigerated?

    No, it doesn’t. In fact, refrigerating this coffee cake will cause it to dry out.

    How should I store blueberry coffee cake?

    Store covered on your countertop at room temperature for up to three days. This can be as simple as placing plastic wrap over the cake pan or you can slice the coffee cake into squares and store them in an airtight container for the same amount of time.

    Can I freeze blueberry coffee cake?

    Yes. Allow the cake to cool completely then cut into squares. Wrap each square in plastic wrap then place them all in a zipper-seal freezer bag. Use within a month for the best taste and freshness.

    Can I make any substitutions?

    You can easily substitute butter or the oil of your choice instead of using coconut oil. If you choose to use sugar or another powdered sweetener instead of the maple syrup, just use slightly less than ½ cup or it will be too sweet.

    • ½ cup maple syrup
    • 2 egg whites beaten until stiff peaks are formed
    • 1 ½ cups blueberries

    Notes

    You can use any sweetener of your choice. I have also tested this recipe with erythritol and the result was just as good (used a little bit less than ½ cup)
    The egg whites make the cake fluffier so I definitely recommend folding them into the batter.
    You can use butter or the baking oil of your choice instead of coconut oil.
