Ingredients

For the Batter

3 cups Overripe Mashed Bananas Use very ripe or blackened bananas for best flavor.
1 cup Almond/Oat Milk Substitute with any plant-based or regular milk.
0.5 cup Melted Vegan Butter Use regular butter if not vegan.
0.5 cup Maple Syrup Can be replaced with agave syrup or honey.
1 teaspoon Baking Powder Don’t skip this for the best results.
0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda Works alongside baking powder.
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Opt for high-quality extract for best taste.
2 cups Regular/Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Adjust based on dietary needs.
0.5 cup Almond Flour Can substitute with all-purpose flour if desired.

For the Blueberry Mix

1-2 cups Fresh/Frozen Blueberries Fresh is best in season, but frozen works year-round.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by greasing it or lining with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas until smooth, leaving some lumps for texture.
To the mashed bananas, add almond milk, melted vegan butter, and maple syrup, then stir in baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla extract.
Gradually sift in the gluten-free or all-purpose flour and almond flour, mixing gently until just combined.
Fold in the blueberries carefully to maintain their shape.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for about 50 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For optional frosting, mix vegan cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, then spread on top.
Slice and enjoy your Blueberry Banana Bread, either plain or with additional vegan butter.
