Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.
Add the cubed cold butter to the flour mixture and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Stir in the coconut sugar to the dry mixture.
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg lightly and mix it with the vanilla extract and almond milk.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly crumbly.
Fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using your hands or a spoon, shape the dough into rough, uneven mounds (about the size of a golf ball) and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Leave space between each mound for expansion.
Bake the rock cakes in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on the outside.
Remove from the oven and let the rock cakes cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
