This easy gluten free blueberry crumb cake is such a light, delicious dessert recipe! The blueberry flavor is irresistible.
Blueberry cake is one of those treats that we enjoy all year long in my house. It’s great when fresh blueberries are in season, but it also tastes just as good using frozen blueberries.
This gluten free blueberry crumb cake is one of my favorite ways to enjoy blueberries. It’s a classic cake loaded with blueberries. The crumb topping is one I adapted years ago from a Moosewood Restaurant cookbook. I use it on fruit pies and crumbles, too. It’s a versatile topping full of nutritious ingredients like oats and shredded unsweetened coconut.
As gluten free baked goods go, I don’t think this one tastes especially “gluten free.” The texture is great, and it lasts for several days. Everyone will love this cake.
