Ingredients

• 200 grams Whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 75 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 50 grams Coconut sugar
• 1 whole Large egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
• 100 grams Fresh blueberries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

Add the cubed cold butter to the flour mixture and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the coconut sugar to the dry mixture.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, beat the egg lightly and mix it with the vanilla extract and almond milk.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly crumbly.

Step 7

Fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Bake the rock cakes in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on the outside.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the rock cakes cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
