Gluten Free Banana Blueberry Bread Recipe

This healthy vegan banana bread is studded with blueberries, fluffy and tastes better than your local cafe's banana bread! It is sugar-free and can be made gluten-free!

I've refined this recipe over many years so can honestly say this is the best vegan banana bread. It is moist without dense spots and packed with bananas. Alternatively, check out my classic vegan banana bread or vegan blueberry bread.

Gluten

All-purpose flour, whole wheat flour or even spelt flour! I've tried all these flours and the banana bread is still delicious and fluffy. The pictures in this post show a banana bread made with whole wheat spelt flour.

Very ripe bananas. The spottier, the better! Ripe bananas are more flavourful and higher in natural sugars which is perfect for banana bread. It also means we can add less sugar/sweeteners!

Coconut sugar, regular sugar or your choice of sugar replacer. Unrefined coconut sugar adds a beautiful caramel note which complements the banana. This recipe also works well with erythritol or stevia if you want to make this banana bread sugar-free.

You can reduce the amount of sugar. However, keep in mind that sugar adds moisture to the banana bread and makes it fluffier. Reducing the sugar will make the bread denser.

Blueberry Breakfast Bread (vegan & Gluten Free)

This is the best vegan banana bread because you only need one bowl! That means, less washing and more doing the things you love (like eating)! You don't have to whisk any aquafaba or prepare any egg replacers. It's a very forgiving and customizable recipe :).

Mash the banana in a bowl with a fork, potato masher or whatever you have. I personally like to mash the bananas roughly as it gives texture to the final banana bread. Then add all the wet ingredients and mix through.

It's combined. There should still be some 'pockets' of flour, oil or unmixed batter. We're not mixing the batter fully as we still need to fold through the blueberries!

Blueberry Banana Bread Recipe

I'd recommend folding the blueberries into the batter as we don't want to overwork the batter. Overmixing any cake batter results in a less fluffy final cake which may even be chewy. No one wants that!

Brown quickly in the oven. If the outside of the bread is browning too quickly but the loaf hasn't baked through, simply:

Methods 2 and 3 forces the oven to cook the middle of the banana bread and will minimize the radiant heat which cooks the outside of the bread.

Gluten Free, Dairy Free Banana And Blueberry Bread

This healthy vegan banana bread recipe is absolutely delicious by itself and doesn't need to be served with any toppings. However, if you still want to take the bread to the next level, you may:

For healthier banana bread, you can use applesauce. Your banana bread will still be moist but a little denser. The original recipe is very fluffy and using applesauce shouldn't give the bread any dense spots.

For more nostalgic banana bread, you can use melted vegan butter instead of oil. However, vegan butter is more solid than oil so your banana bread may feel a little dry when it cools down. I'd recommend reheating your banana bread when you want to enjoy/serve it!

Blueberry

I am a huge fan of using fresh blueberries when they are in season but that's not always possible. I will use frozen blueberries if I can't get fresh blueberries. If using frozen fruit in my bakes I always blot them with a kitchen towel to try and remove some of the excess liquid from the frozen berries. When using frozen blueberries the color of the blueberries may bleed more into the batter while baking.
