Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 240 g 2 overripe mashed bananas
  • 240 ml 1 cup plain and unsweetened almond or oat milk
  • 60 ml 1/4 cup melted vegan butter
  • 180 ml 3/4 cup maple syrup
  • 5 g 1 tsp baking powder
  • 5 g 1 tsp baking soda
  • 5 ml 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 180 g 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (regular or gluten-free)
  • 100 g 1 cup almond flour (or an additional 1/2 cup all-purpose flour)
Filling and Topping
  • 150 g 1 cup fresh blueberries (in season, or frozen if out of season)
  • 60 g 2 oz vegan cream cheese
  • 30 ml 2 tbsp melted vegan butter
  • 90 g 3/4 cup powdered sugar

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, almond milk, melted vegan butter, and maple syrup. Whisk until well combined.
  3. Add the baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients. Stir until fully mixed.
  4. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and almond flour, stirring gently until just combined – avoid overmixing.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to mash them.
Baking
  1. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spread the vegan cream cheese evenly over the batter, then pour the remaining batter on top.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
  3. Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving
  1. For optional icing, mix the melted vegan butter with powdered sugar and drizzle over the cooled bread. Serve fresh or at room temperature.

Notes

Blueberry Banana Bread can be served warm or at room temperature. Slice the loaf and enjoy it plain, or with vegan butter or cream cheese. For a delightful breakfast, serve alongside fresh fruit or dairy-free yogurt. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for a week.
