Ingredients for Gluten-Free Blueberry Lemon Mini Cakes
- 2-1/3 cups all purpose flour – Note: I used King Arthur Gluten Free Measure for Measure but can confirm all purpose flour works as well!
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 4 tbsp. (1/2 stick) butter, softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup almond milk
- Juice of half a lemon
- ¼ cup of blueberries
Tips for Success
- You can still make this in a regular bread pan but I recommend the Wilton Mini Loaf Pan for cute single serve treats
- For an extra burst of lemon flavor, you can drizzle a simple lemon glaze over the cooled mini loaves.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best results, but you can also use frozen blueberries if that’s what you have on hand. Just be sure to thaw and drain them before adding them to the batter.
- These mini loaves are perfect for gifting! Wrap them up individually in parchment paper or plastic wrap and tie with a ribbon for a thoughtful homemade gift.
Serving Suggestions
- Enjoy these Blueberry Lemon Mini Cakes for breakfast alongside a cup of tea or espresso.
- Pack them in lunchboxes for a sweet and satisfying treat.
- Enjoy with a refreshing Mint Lemonade
- Serve them as dessert at your next brunch or dinner party, paired with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
