Notes

Craving a delicious Blueberry Breakfast Cake. Looking for a gluten-free option? No worries! Simply swap out flour, with a gluten-free flour blend that can be used in the same amount. If your gluten-free flour doesn't contain xanthan gum (a binding agent) just add around 1/4 teaspoon of it to the mix.
Sometimes using gluten-free flour may result in a thicker batter. If this happens just pour in a bit of buttermilk to achieve a smooth consistency. This easy substitution allows you to indulge in your cake guilt-free, minus the gluten. Bake it up. Savor your gluten-free treat!
