Equipment

Large mixing bowl
small mixing bowl
8 x 8 baking pan

Ingredients

2 eggs
1/2 cup coconut oil
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter softened (1 ½ sticks)
1 1/4 cups sugar + 1 tablespoon for topping
2 cups all-purpose flour + 1 tablespoon to flour the blueberries
3 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups fresh blueberries divided
Lemon zest optional topping

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 x 8 baking pan and set aside.
In a bowl, add the blueberries and the one tablespoon of flour and stir until the blueberries are well coated. Set aside. Hold a 1/4 cup of blueberries back for topping later.
In a large bowl, add the coconut oil, butter, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and granulated sugar. Whisk until well combined.
Next Add the flour and baking powder. Don’t overmix. Gently fold in 1 ¾ cup floured blueberries.
Pour batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle one tablespoon of sugar on top as well as the rest of the blueberries and then bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool before removing from the pan or just cut and serve out of the pan. Lemon zest is a nice finishing touch. Enjoy!
