Ingredients notes:
Whole wheat flour – this helps to bind along with being high in fiber and less processed.
Oat flour – you may grind your own oat flour or use store bought one.
Flaxmeal – this helps is adding nutrition like omega-3 fatty acid to this blueberry bread loaf along with being a great egg substitute.
Oat milk – any dairy free milk works here. However, oat milk gives a nice creamy texture to its batter.

How to make Vegan Blueberry Bread
Firstly, in a mixing bowl, I combined whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking powder and salt and mixed it well.
Secondly, I added soaked flaxmeal, maple syrup, oat milk and vanilla extract to it.
Next, I whipped it with a flat spatula into a thick dough like batter.
Thereafter, I folded in blueberries to it.
Afterwards, I mixed it again gently without crushing the blueberries.
Later, I spooned it out into the prepared loaf pan and placed it in the preheated oven at 350-degree Fahrenheit. Then, I let it bake for 55 minutes.
Once done, I took it out and let it cool on a flat surface.
Lastly, I gently, pulled out the parchment along with the bread. Then, I let it cool down a bit more before slicing.
Its texture was perfect and well risen. I personally enjoyed it warm since I was drooling with its aroma.
How to serve healthy blueberry breakfast bread
I enjoy it as is. My family loves to smear vegan butter over it. You may also drizzle some maple syrup or smear apple jam for a sweeter bread loaf taste. However, this can be enjoyed for snacks, or as dessert or whenever any cravings occur.
Expert tips:
- It is important to closely follow the recipe steps so as to get a nicely risen firm bread and yet soft and fluffy.
- Most importantly, while mixing the batter make sure the blueberries are not crushed or smashed. They should release their juice while in the oven.
Let it cool completely at room temperature. Then, slice with a read knife or any sharp knife. Then, let the slices also cool down very well from inside. In an air tight container, you may refrigerate the slices for about 2 weeks. Place 2 -3 slices in a Ziploc bag in a single layer and freeze for about 2 months. When ready toast it lightly or crispy as per your choice and enjoy with your favorite topping.
Frozen blueberries would release too much liquid which might affect its rising point so I would highly recommend to use fresh blueberries for this recipe.
I have taken great care and tested this recipe quite a few times. The last step is important so do not over mix the blueberries in the batter. Also, I made the batter a bit thicker for this bread so that it holds blueberries in the right position. Also, while shaping the batter in the bread pan do not press it too much and be naturally as much as possible.

Notes
