Gluten-Free Blueberry Breakfast Cake

How do you like to spend your weekends? Do you laze around in your pyjamas on Saturday morning; make dinner reservations at your favorite restaurant; have a special activity with the family?  However you spent this past one, I hope it was nice!  We do a variety around here  – but one thing’s for sure, there is usually some sort of baking that will happen. This weekend, Little A. and I woke up early on Sunday and made our way into the kitchen.  He wanted to make cake; I wanted breakfast – so we compromised and made a blueberry breakfast cake.  

We had a couple of pints of fresh blueberries in the fridge that made perfect sense to use in our cake, not to mention snack on while we were baking.  With a few simple ingredients, small hands stirring, and twenty-some minutes of peeking through the stove window – our delicious breakfast cake was ready.  Little A. couldn’t have been prouder nor more pleased with eating cake for brekky.

I love how much he enjoys the process of baking or cooking in the kitchen with me. It’s a special thing that him and I share – and as a Mama, it makes me happy to see him light up while participating in something that I’m also passionate about.  He’s getting quite skilled for a little man, if I do say so myself 😉
