Dear Reader-
I have been eyeing a recipe from Fresh from the Farmstand
(Psst… Have you entered to win a copy of the cookbook?)
Anyhoo… I had made a Whole Grain Blueberry Coffee Cake a while back… but since starting this challenge, I thought that I could eek a little more calories/fat out of it and add a little more fiber in…
Below is my revised recipe and I am oh-so pleased!
Changes I made?
- I reduced the butter by 1 T and used Light Butter instead of regular.
- I used Whole Grain Cream of Wheat instead of regular.
- I used White Whole Wheat Flour instead of All Purpose.
- I used 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar- Splenda blend instead of 1 Cup Brown Sugar. (Note: If you don’t want to use Splenda, you might try using Honey.)
- I used Skim Milk.
- I also used 1 1/2 Cup Fresh Blueberries instead of 2 Cups Mixed Berries just because that is what I had on hand.
- Oh and I spread the 8-10 servings among 12 cavities in my Brownie Pan
and the portions were PLENTY big. (Truth be told the Brownie Pan is one of my favorite portion control tools
).

I’ve been thinking about getting one of these brownie pans, for just this portion control reason! You’ve sold me on it!
The coffee cakes look great, I’ll have to give this a try.
