Blueberry Coffee Cake If you're in the mood to get a little bit fancy, tuck into this blueberry mug cake with cinnamon streusel. The recipe is simple, but the final result is like something you'd eat in an elegant café.

Ingredients:
1/2 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon brown rice syrup
2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
3 drops vanilla extract
1/4 cup flour
Pinch of salt
2 teaspoons blueberries

For the streusel:
1/2 tablespoon butter
1 heaping teaspoon flour
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:
Place 1/2 tablespoon butter in a mug, and microwave for 5 seconds to soften. Stir in sugar and brown rice syrup, and mix until blended.

Next, add the applesauce, vanilla, flour, baking powder and salt, stirring until just combined. Gently mix in the blueberries.

In a separate bowl, combine all streusel ingredients, and mix until you get a sandy texture. Pour over the cake batter.

Cook in the microwave for 75 seconds, and dig in.
