Ingredients
- 240 grams whole wheat flour (2 cups)
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 medium, ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 tbs apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup apple sauce
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbs peanut butter
- 1 tbs lemon or lime juice
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cover a loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
-
In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
-
Using a stand or handheld mixer, add the ripe bananas to the bowl. Mix on medium until the bananas are smooth.
-
In the mixing bowl add orange juice, apple sauce, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, almond extract and peanut butter. Mix on low until everything is combined.
-
Taking your dry ingredients, slowly add them to your wet mixture. It is best to hand stir these together as it is important not to over stir the bread batter.
-
Fold in blueberries.
-
Transfer the bread batter to the loaf pan. Sprinkle a handful of blueberries on top and lightly press them into the batter.
-
Bake for 50 minutes to one hour. Insert a toothpick into the center to make sure the bread is cooked thoroughly. *Removing the bread from the oven before it is completely baked will cause the center to sink.*
-
Allow the bread to fully cool before slicing.
-
Enjoy fresh blueberry bread or slice the bread and freeze for an easy, healthy and quick heat-and-eat breakfast or snack.
