You know, now that I think about it I really should go vegan. I mean after the constant eating and eating and more eating that I did in Maui it would probably be a good idea, right?
Hello?
Oh, there you are! You’re right…butter is a great reason to not be vegan. See also bacon. See also steak. I think my vacation diet has gotten the best of me now…
stingy thrifty has it’s downfalls, but my friends I promise you this is not one of them. Sure, you can use vegan butter. You can go all the way with making this vegan. But there’s never anything wrong with a little butter…besides, the chia seeds eat up the butter fat solids and they don’t get turned into calories when you eat them.
Totally. Promise. Just don’t look it up!
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 chia eggs (2 Tbsp chia seeds + 6 Tbsp warm water)
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 2/3 cups almond milk
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, stems removed and diced
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 4 Tbsp cold butter, cubed
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350. Mix chia egg and let it sit while combining the other wet ingredients. Cream together the butter and sugars; add the vanilla and almond milk. Fold in the chia egg until combined. Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix until just combined. Pour into a greased 9×13 pan. Sprinkle berries evenly over the batter. In a food processor process the remaining 2/3 cup sugar, 4 Tbsp butter, 2 Tbsp flour, and 1 tsp cinnamon until crumbly. Sprinkle mixture over the berries. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
Enjoy!
…or not 😉

I am in love with berries right now. Can’t wait to make this cake.
That looks beautiful, fresh and very tasty! Yumm!
I cannot WAIT for fresh berries here! This look awesome – almost vegan or not 🙂
ha, I can’t even tell you how many vegan recipes get unveganized because I don’t want to go to the store. I had these vegan peanut butter cups (to be posted soon!) and I ended up making them the most unhealthy things in the world, lol. But they tasted good!
Great recipe!!
This looks delicious… perfect for my current berry obsession.
These look amazing!! Butter is the best invention ever 🙂
That looks delicious, vegan or not!
Hey, I’m vegan and I’ll have you know that I shave….in the summer.
