Ingredients

750 g (26.5 oz) fresh blueberries *
2 tablespoons (2 tablespoons) lemon juice
6 tablespoons (6 tablespoons) maple syrup (or sub any other sweetener)

For the topping:

60 g (¼ cup) coconut oil (or sub olive or vegetable oil)
8 tablespoons (8 tablespoons) maple syrup (or sub any other sweetener)
1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) vanilla extract
1 tablespoon (1 tablespoon) apple cider vinegar ** (ensure gluten-free if necessary)
150 g (1 ¼ cup) ground almonds (almond meal) ***
150 g (1 ¼ cup) gluten-free flour blend (or sub plain flour if not gluten-free)
2 heaped teaspoons (2 heaped teaspoons) baking powder (ensure gluten-free if necessary)
¼ teaspoon (¼ teaspoon) bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
160 ml (⅔ cup) unsweetened almond milk (or any other plant-based milk)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
Place the blueberries, lemon juice and maple syrup in a baking dish - I used one measuring 26 cm (10 inch) by 18 cm (7 inch) and 7 cm (2 ½ inch) tall.
Mix well.
Place all the ingredients for the topping in a bowl and mix well (no need to sift in the flour) - add the milk a little bit at a time until you get a fairly soft dough. You can also add a tiny splash more milk if it's looking too dry.
Use two tablespoons to place a heaped tablespoon of the dough on top of the blueberries.
Repeat for the rest of the mixture - you should be able to make around 12 soft balls.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until browned and an inserted skewer into the topping comes out clean.
Best enjoyed immediately!

Notes

*You can add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the blueberries.

**If you don’t want to use vinegar, replace it with 2 tablespoons lemon juice as you need something acidic to react with the alkali bicarbonate of soda (baking soda).

***You can alternatively use almond flour.
