Ingredients

Scale

Vanilla Crumble Topping

  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 1/3 cup (150 g) all purpose flour or gluten free 1:1 baking flour
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) vegan butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Blueberry Buckle Batter

  • 3 cups (375 g) all purpose flour or gluten free 1:1 baking flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 1/4 cup (250 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) vegan butter, melted and cooled
  • 3/4 cup (170 g) dairy free yogurt or vegan sour cream, room temperature
  • 2/3 cup (180 g) vegan buttermilk, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1 1/2 lbs fresh blueberries
  • 1 tbsp all purpose flour or gluten free flour (for coating blueberries)

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper and olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Vanilla Crumble Topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar and flour. Use a fork to mix in the melted vegan butter and vanilla extract until the mixture resembles a coarse crumble. Set this aside for later.
  3. Prepare the Blueberry Buckle Batter Dry Ingredients: In another medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients and Sugar: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted and cooled vegan butter, granulated sugar, dairy-free yogurt, vegan buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean paste until smooth and well combined.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until there are just no more dry streaks of flour being visible. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
  6. Prepare Blueberries: Remove 1 cup of the blueberries and set them aside to top the batter later. Toss the remaining blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat evenly and prevent them from sinking in the batter.
  7. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the flour-coated blueberries into the batter using a silicone spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
  8. Assemble the Buckle: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly to the edges. Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of fresh blueberries evenly over the top, then evenly distribute the vanilla crumble topping over the blueberries.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
  10. Serve: For best results, serve the blueberry buckle slightly warm. Slice into 9 to 12 squares and optionally dust with powdered sugar. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, in the fridge for up to 6 days, or freeze for up to one month.

Notes

  • Using fresh blueberries gives the best texture and flavor; frozen berries can be used but may add extra moisture.
  • Room temperature ingredients help the batter blend smoothly and bake evenly.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to keep the buckle soft and fluffy.
  • You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free 1:1 baking flour blend for a gluten-free version.
  • Make sure to coat the blueberries in flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
  • If you don’t have vegan buttermilk, mix 2/3 cup plant-based milk with 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Store the cake well covered to maintain freshness and moisture.
