Blueberry Banana Bread Ingredients
- 2 overripe mashed bananas
- 1 cup plain and unsweetened almond or oat milk
- 1/4 cup melted vegan butter
- 3/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cup regular or gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup almond flour or an additional 1/2 cup of regular or gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (in season) or frozen blueberries
Cream Cheese Frosting Ingredients
- 2 oz vegan cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons melted vegan butter
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a bread loaf pan with non-stick baking spray or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Batter: Mash bananas in a large bowl. Add milk, maple syrup, melted butter, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla. Mix well. Add flours and mix until a thick batter forms. Fold in blueberries.
- Bake: Pour batter into the pan and bake for 50 minutes until golden brown. Check doneness with a toothpick. If the top is getting too dark, cover with foil and continue baking.
- Cool and Frost: Remove from pan and cool. Optionally, prepare frosting by mixing cream cheese, melted butter, and powdered sugar. Drizzle over the loaf before serving.
- Serve: Enjoy warm slices plain or with a pat of vegan butter.
Notes
- You can use frozen blueberries if fresh ones are not in season.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup.
