Cherry Berry Buckle...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Eating Well magazine Ingredients: 1-1/2 cups white whole-wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup light olive oil or canola oil
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups raspberries or blueberries, fresh or frozen
1-1/2 cups halved pitted sweet cherries, fresh or frozen, or chopped ripe apricots (1/2-inch pieces)
2 tablespoons sliced almonds
2 teaspoons raw cane sugar, such as Demerara or turbinado (optional; see Notes)
Directions: 1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch baking dish or springform pan with cooking spray. (If using frozen fruit, let stand for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, to partially defrost before folding into the batter.)
2) Whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Whisk milk, applesauce, oil, granulated sugar, egg and vanilla in a medium bowl until blended. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold until blended. Sprinkle berries and cherries (or apricots) on top and fold just until blended. Spoon the batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with almonds and raw sugar (if using).
3) Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs, 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool for about 30 minutes before serving. Yield: 8 servings.
