Ingredients

Compote:

  • 2/3 cup blueberries
  • 1/3 cup chopped apple
  • 4 tablespoons raw sugar or jaggery grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 3-4 tablespoons water

Cake:

  • 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 2/3 cup self rising flour (or all purpose flour + 1/2 teaspoon baking powder)
  • 1 tablespoon flax seed meal or flax seeds coarsely ground
  • 3 tablespoons Oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon raw sugar
  • 1 tablespoon high fat oil (I used virgin coconut oil)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup warm water

Method

  1. You can prepare the compote beforehand and keep. Blend the blueberries, apple, sugar and cinnamon in a blender into a smooth puree. use a little water if needed.
  2. Cook this puree on low heat till it thickens to a thick syrup consistency. about 15-20 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, add flax meal, vinegar, oil, and 1/4 (60ml) cup almost hot water.
  4. Mix it well till the mixture is well combined. Add in the oats and sugar, mix well and keep aside for a few minutes.
  5. In a bowl, mix the flours, salt, baking powder.
  6. Add the fruit syrup and the flours to the flax meal mixture. Mix lightly.
  7. If the mixture seems too dry, add in a few tablespoons water at a time. Mix until just about combined like a muffin batter.
  8. Grease a mini loaf well. Drop batter in and even it out.
  9. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the Middle comes out clean.
  10. Let cool a little before removing from pan and slicing! Serve warm as is, or topped with blueberry compote or the strawberry orange one in the pictures.:)
