Community user Star112274 asked for a slimmed-down version of this family favorite. Made with sugar-sweet blueberries, who can resist?
 

Ingredients

1 spray(s) cooking spray   
1 cup(s) blueberries   
3/4 cup(s) sugar, divided   
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice   
2 1/4 cup(s) Bisquick Reduced-Fat Baking Mix, divided   
1/2 tsp ginger root, minced   
1 tsp ground cinnamon   
1/2 tsp table salt   
1/4 cup(s) fat-free egg substitute   
2 Tbsp molasses   
1 cup(s) fat-free skim milk, divided   

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a 9- X 9-inch pan with cooking spray.

  • Toss blueberries with 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl; set aside.

  • Combine 2 cups of Bisquick, remaining sugar, ginger, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl.

  • Stir in egg substitute, molasses and 2/3 cup of milk with a wooden spoon. If batter looks a little dry, add remaining 1/3 cup of milk.

  • In a small bowl, combine blueberries with remaining 1/4 cup of Bisquik and fold into Bisquick-sugar mixture; carefully spoon batter into prepared pan.

  • Bake until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.

  • Allow to cool slightly before slicing into 16 pieces. Yields 2 pieces per serving. (Note: Frozen, thawed and drained unsweetened blueberries can be substituted for fresh berries when necessary.)

Chef Tips

  • We renovated Blueberry Gingerbread by:
    • Switching from some full-fat to non-fat products.

    • Reducing the sugar and relying on blueberries for natural sweetness.

    • Using a reduced-fat baking mix which eliminated 1/2 cup of shortening!
