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
Preheat oven to 350F
Add dry ingredients to bowl – Flour, baking powder, sugar. Mix together.
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.
Add 1 tsp flour and 1 tbsp sugar to blueberries.
Lightly fold blueberries into the batter until combines. (don’t mix to much. It might become a little thick, and that’s okay)
Add parchment paper to loaf pan. Pour batter into baking loaf. Sprinkle some sugar evenly on top.
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.
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

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.
Optional add-ins:
(Ask your heart and trust your self how much)
Ground flaxmeal
Chia seeds
Poppyseeds (no more than 1 tbsp)
Mashed Brown bananas
