Fat was reduced from 45% (of total calories) to 24%, calories dropped 44%, and sugar fell 36% while fiber increased. Whole grain coffee cakes are easy to make in the blender. To make this recipe by hand without a blender use 2 cups whole grain flour. This recipe is very successful with gluten-free brown rice! This whole grain blender batter recipe is so light and tender that even those accustomed to the fluffy white stuff will be pleased. AMOUNT: 11.5" x 8" Pan Bake: 325°F - 30 to 40 minutes 1.
