Vegan Clean Eating Blueberry Upside Down Cake

Last Updated on September 26, 2023 by Amanda Brooks

A few weeks ago David’s boss gave us tickets to the Orlando Magic game…not just any seats, but club seats meaning we had access to a buffet of food!

I was thrilled by the vegetable spread, but really what got my attention was the pineapple upside down cake. After a bite I realized this needed to be my next food redo attempt! Upside Down Blueberry Cake Recipe - Healthy dessert option made to serve 1, vegan, dairy free,egg free I can usually find healthy recipe options that include eggs, but since those are not on my menu I am starting to dabble more with how to make things on my own and was pretty excited with this one.

I’m also down with making things in SMALL batches to keep me from over doing it! This recipe makes enough for 2…unless you don’t like to share then just 1 serving you can spread over 2 meals.

Ingredients

4 tbsp gluten free baking mix {or flour of choice}
3 tbsp ground flaxseed, 1 tbsp chia seeds with 2 tbsp water
1 tsp ground cinnamon
dash of sea salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tbsp applesauce
1 tbsp honey or 5 stevia drops
3 tbsp unsweetened vanilla almond or soy milk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tbsp coconut oil
3 tbsp blueberries

Note: For future batches I was more liberal with the blueberries and very happy. I won’t lie there was a little finger crossing and knocking on wood that this would turn out. I always see so many pretty photos on Pinterest and then wonder why mine looks like a hot mess!After removing from the oven go find a couple blogs to read so you aren’t tempted to dump it immediately, it’s not easy to dump a hot dish without hurting yourself…eh hem, not that I would know. Directions
