- 1 1/3 cups All-Purpose Flour (divided)
- 3/4 cup Oats
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 Egg

- 1/4 cup Oil
Fruit
- 1 cup Fresh Blueberries
Glaze
- 1/2 cup Powdered Confectioners Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Almond Extract
- 3 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
- Coat Blueberries: Toss 1 cup of fresh blueberries with 1/3 cup of the all-purpose flour to prevent them from sinking during baking.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, remaining flour (1 cup), baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, egg, 3/4 cup milk, and oil. Stir together until just combined to form the batter.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the floured blueberries into the batter, ensuring even distribution without breaking the berries.
- Prepare Baking Pan: Grease a loaf or baking pan to prevent sticking. Pour and spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to fully preheat before baking.
- Bake the Cake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered confectioners sugar, almond extract, and 3 tablespoons of milk until smooth.
- Apply Glaze and Serve: Once the cake is warm, drizzle the almond glaze over the top. Serve the loaf cake with extra fresh blueberries on the side for an enhanced fruity experience. Enjoy!
