Vegan Blueberry Banana Oat Bread







During the first lockdown the world saw everyone become obsessed with banana bread - people were sharing recipes, attempting to cook it at home and posting about it on social media. For lockdown 2.0 we found a slightly different recipe for those of you who did not get to try it out last time or for those who want to cook it again but with a little twist. So if you are looking for a fun activity to do during this lockdown - keep reading!


This banana bread is different from the typical as it is made with oats and blueberries. Oats are nutritious and will fill you up for hours whilst blueberries are known for being one of the best sources for antioxidants!

This particular recipe is also perfect for our vegan readers as it contains no dairy or eggs.



The ingredients you will need are:


  • Bananas

  • Baking powder

  • Baking soda

  • Salt

  • Almond milk (unsweetened)

  • Blueberries (fresh or frozen)

  • Oats

  • Light spelt flour

  • Grapeseed oil/light flavored oil/applesauce

  • Vanilla extract

  • Cinnamon



First you need to mash your bananas by hand - the best way to do so is by using the back of a slotted spoon or fork.


Mix together the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to that the mashed bananas, oil and almond milk. Mix to combine, just until the flour is incorporated - make sure you do not overmix. Then, gently fold in the blueberries.


Pour the batter into a lightly greased loaf pan. Optionally, add a few blueberries strategically to the top and sprinkle a small handful of oats over top.

Place in a preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, rotating once halfway through. The top of your bread should turn golden. If you stick a toothpick in the center it will come out clean.


Once done, let cool for 15 minutes in the pan and then place on a rack to cool completely.



Hope you enjoy!
