Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 2 bananas overripe mashed bananas Use two ripe bananas for optimal flavor and sweetness.
  • 1 cup almond or oat milk Plain and unsweetened; substitute with any non-dairy or regular milk if desired.
  • 1/3 cup melted vegan butter Adds richness; can be switched with any plant-based oil or regular butter.
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup Enhances flavor; honey works as an alternative.
  • 1 tsp baking powder Provides leavening; ensure it's fresh.
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda Works with baking powder for lift.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Optional but recommended for flavor.
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour Can substitute with regular flour if desired.
  • 1/2 cup almond flour Adds moisture and flavor; can be replaced by more all-purpose flour.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: almond milk, melted vegan butter, maple syrup, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla with the mashed bananas.
  4. Gradually mix in the almond flour and gluten-free all-purpose flour until a thick batter forms.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for approximately 50 minutes.
  7. Check the bread for doneness after 40 minutes; cover with foil if the top is browning too quickly.
  8. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. If desired, mix vegan cream cheese, melted butter, and powdered sugar for frosting once cooled.
  10. Slice the bread and spread frosting on top if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
