Serves: 4 people 

I got a massive bag of wild blueberries from costco and decided to turn them into a loaf to share with my family. I put together all pantry essentials ensuring to keep this simple and nourishing. It actually turned out aahhmmmazing.  I highly recommend making this, in fact, make 2!  It will be gone in no time. See the Notes below

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup Gluten free flour 1:1 (see notes)
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 cup coconut sugar (or maple syrup)
1/2 cup oat milk (or any milk you have)
1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or whatever oil you have, or yogurt or apple sauce)
1 tbsp flax egg (or regular egg, see details for flax below)
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups wild blueberry (fresh or frozen or any berries you have)
+ 1 tbsp sugar + 1 tsp flour for berries
Plus 1-2 tbsp sugar for the top of the loaf (I use regular cane sugar for this, but coconut sugar is fine

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F

  2. Add dry ingredients to bowl – Flour, baking powder, sugar. Mix together.

  3. Add wet ingredients to another bowl – milk, flax egg, coconut oil, vanilla. Blend together until smooth then add to dry ingredients and combine them lightly.

  4. Add 1 tsp flour and 1 tbsp sugar to blueberries.

  5. Lightly fold blueberries into the batter until combines. (don’t mix to much. It might become a little thick, and that’s okay)

  6. Add parchment paper to loaf pan. Pour batter into baking loaf. Sprinkle some sugar evenly on top.

  7. Pop in oven for about 65 minutes until lightly golden on top. Make sure the middle is set. Take a toothpick and poke the middle of the loaf, if it comes out clean its cooked. If it has some batter on it, it needs a few more minutes. Try 5 minutes at a time, up to 75 minutes. Place tin foil on top if it is baking faster and browning too much.

  8. Let cool in the pan for 5 to 50 minutes. Then slice and serve with love and joy. 

Saving Money:

Purchase your wild blueberries frozen. They work just as well as fresh blueberries, no need to dethaw them either.

Quick Tips

If you want this to be vegan or do not have or want to waste an egg, make a Flax Egg:

1 tbsp flax meal + 2 tbsp water. let sit for 5 minutes.

Flour options. 
I love using Bob Red Mills 1:1 Gluten free flour. But using half chickpea flour and half almond flour makes an excellent loaf as well.  You can also use coconut flour or any flour you have on hand.

(Ask your heart and trust your self how much)
Ground flaxmeal
Chia seeds
Poppyseeds (no more than 1 tbsp)
Mashed Brown bananas
Minced walnuts or pecans

Why use Wild Blueberries 

 “The world’s most powerful food is hiding on low, scrubby bushes in plain sight. I’m talking about the wild blueberry. Do not confuse wild blueberries with their larger, cultivated cousins, which, while great for your health, don’t offer even a fraction of wild blueberries’ power.
The difference between cultivated and wild blueberries is the difference between farm raised salmon and wild salmon, or between industrial, grain-fed beef and free range, grass-fed beef. Bringing cultivated blueberries into your life is like drinking from a paper cup; bringing wild blueberries into your life is like drinking from the golden cup that Jesus once drank from—the Holy Grail. Wild blueberries hold ancient and sacred survival information from the heavens, going back tens of thousands of years. They have adapted to every fluctuation in climate over the millennia. Their innate intelligence has prevented them from accepting a monoculture; instead, they thrive with more than 100 variable strains that look similar yet have different genetic makeups, so that these plants can never be eradicated, no matter what comes in the future.
While other food plants can only continue after a fire if their seeds survive and are replanted, wild blueberry plants can be burned to the ground, and they will come back stronger than ever. No other food on the planet has the ability to thrive in such trying conditions. It is the number-one adaptogen, period—even though it is not recognized as an adaptogenic food at all. Currently, wild blueberries are acknowledged by nutrition experts for their sky-high levels of antioxidants. It goes beyond that—they have the highest proportion of antioxidants of any food on the planet. On top of that, these tiny jewels have a plethora of undiscovered qualities. For one, they’re armed with dozens of antioxidant varieties that science does not yet know about, along with polyphenols, anthocyanins, anthocyanidins, dimethyl resveratrol, and as yet unknown cofactor adaptogenic amino acids. When you eat these berries, their innate intelligence reads your body, searches out potential disease, monitors your stress and toxicity levels, and figures out the best way to heal you—it is the only food that does that.”
