Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (for batter)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
- For streusel topping:
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or square baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 tsp cinnamon.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and ¾ cup brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Alternately add the flour mixture and Greek yogurt to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Prepare the streusel topping by combining whole wheat flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For extra flavor, serve with a dollop of vanilla Greek yogurt or a drizzle of honey. You can also substitute frozen blueberries if fresh are not available.
