I think adding blueberries into breads/muffins/desserts may be my favorite thing to do. Yes chocolate is amazing but there’s something about warmed blueberries that hit the spot!

Recipe Steps:
This recipe is a great way to ease yourself into vegan baking because who doesn’t like banana bread?! You won’t even notice that there aren’t eggs or dairy milk in this recipe. Instead, you’ll use flax eggs.
A flaxseed egg is made with 1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 tbsp water. You need to let it thicken for about 5-7 minutes to get an egg like texture. In this recipe, you’ll make 3 total flaxseed eggs before adding everything else in the recipe.
I let the flax eggs sit and thicken while I got the rest of the ingredients ready for this easy vegan blueberry banana bread. Then I added the flaxseed eggs in before finally adding blueberries in.
You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. A lot of times I use frozen because it’s more affordable to get organic berries that are frozen.

Then line a loaf pan with parchment paper and pour the batter in.

Bake at 350F for 55-60 minutes. Let it cool completely in the pan before removing so it can continue to cook. It’s tough to do haha but worth it!
