Stirring up this healthy(er) coffeecake at night and baking it in the morning made the mad rush before church a little less mad. And we even have leftovers for tomorrow’s First Day of School breakfast!
My son was so excited to wake up to “Cake for breakfast!”
Overnight Blueberry Coffeecake
- 1 cup unbleached flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (other berries would be tasty, too!)
Topping
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, combine yogurt, applesauce, butter, and eggs; add to dry ingredients and mix well. Batter will be thick.
- Fold in blueberries.
- Spread into a greased 9×13 inch pan.
- Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over batter.
- Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight.
Uncover and bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes.

Oh yum. That really looks delicious.
I love having cake for breakfast!
That coffeecake looks amazing! I can’t wait to try it.
Looks wonderful!!
This looks so good!! And I love do-ahead recipes.
Oh, yum! This sounds delish and glad it is healthier, too!
Hi! Does it have to be 1 cup wheat flour or can i just use 2 cups reg flour instead of 1 reg/1 wheat?
PS: Last week we had ANOTHER double batch of the the cheesey potato soup with bacon! LOL
@Laura, I’ve only made it 1/2 and 1/2, but I see no reason why it wouldn’t work the other way!
Yay for cheesy potato soup. Looking forward to fall weather so I can put that back in my meal rotation.
I agree with your son, nothing like cake for breakfast! And ya know, there’s really nothing like cake for dinner, either
What a GREAT!!! coffee cake recipe. I love the idea of applesauce and yogurt in the recipe. These two ingredients will make it very moist. THANKS!!! for the YUMMY!!!! recipe. Geri
Oooh, I would LOVE a little piece of that right now ~ it looks soo good! Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Good morning and thank you for sharing! I love blueberries in cakes. mmmmm
Not only does this look good, it’s also a great idea. How wonderful to have coffee cake oven ready in the morning. Those of us who are not morning people will forever sing your praise.
My, that does sound healthy and tasty. You have some lucky children in your house! Thanks for sharing with us
I made a berry coffeecake last Sunday, too. They devoured it while I was in the shower. I got one bite!
Thanks for linking up at URS!
Amy,
Just so you know this is one of my favorite breakfast recipes. I actually make it with only whole wheat flour and I use Rapadura instead of the white and brown sugar and it is still amazing. Thanks again for the recipe.
Thanks so much for letting me know! It’s been so long since I’ve found blueberries at a good price that I haven’t been able to make it much.
