Blueberry Honey Oat Breakfast Cake, I love starting my day with a slice of this cake.ย The cake is chock-full with blueberries and has a sweet oatmeal topping.
I remember as a kid my mom would go to Northern Minnesota with her sister to pick blueberries. She would always come home with a ton of fresh blueberries. It was always a treat to have all those fresh blueberries.
She would bake some of these blueberries into sweet treats for the family and the rest were frozen for later use. I think that is when my love for blueberries all started.
I have mentioned so many times on this blog that I am a total breakfast person. The minute I get out of bed I am ready to eat breakfast on most days. I can never understand how people pass up breakfast. Even if you are one of those people who turn up your nose to breakfast you won’t be able to resist at least one slice of cake in the morning. I will bet you.
Helpful tips:
- As always when baking cakes you will want the ingredients at room temperature. The room temperature will blend smoothly into the batter.
- Always use high-quality ingredients.
- Don’t have yogurt? Don’t worry you can use Greek yogurt or sour cream.
- Make sure to use the correct pan size for this recipe. I use a 9-inch springform pan for this recipe. If you don’t have a springform pan use an 8-inch square pan.
- If you are looking to freeze this cake for a later day you are in luck. This cake will freeze well. Just make sure to have in an airtight freezer container.
- If you are not looking to freeze you can keep it on your counter for 2 to 3 days. This is one of those cakes that will get moister as time goes by.

Great pictures!

So many good things here! First of all, cake for breakfast. Secondly, blueberries! I have a secret blueberry patch that I visit every summer. Out of that comes my annual blueberry pie. (We’re on track to do that sometime next week or the week after.) After that, it’s everything blueberry – blueberry butter, muffins … you name it. I think this year, though, it’s going to be blueberry breakfast cake, because it looks so wonderful!

This cake looks delicious – moist and I love the topping. Blueberries are one of my favorite summer treats.

What a marvelous summer treat! I have blueberries in the fridge, but not quite enough to make this yummy cake. Maybe a treat for my knitting group next week!

This looks amazing, Dawn! We eat oats quite often in granola form around here…but I’m thinking I need to make this oat cake sometime soon. Oats in crumbles are just awesome because they get nice and toasted and crispy. Yum! And then you add in those fresh blueberries. I definitely need a slice of this one right now with my morning mug of coffee. Sounds delicious!!

I love blueberries in baked goods! And they’re wonderful when you use oats, too. I’ll never turn down cake for breakfast. ๐ This looks terrific — thanks.

I do love oats for breakfast, and I’m a total breakfast kinda guy – perhaps it’s because I’m hungry when I wake up, but also because I just love breakfast flavors. This is an awesome recipe, and I could totally go for a slice of this cake right now!!
