Blueberry Breakfast Bread Ingredients

As I mentioned above, this recipe is entirely gluten and dairy-free. So how exactly do you get a moist quick bread without all the classic baking staples? Let me show you:

• Oat flour
• Blueberries
• Baking powder
• Salt
• Honey
• Large banana
• Coconut oil
• Eggs
• Vanilla extract
• Lemon zest
• Old fashioned oats

The banana and coconut oil helps to bind and keep everything nice and moist.

Making Oat Flour

You can skip the store-bought oat flour for a homemade version that’s just as good without the steep price tag. I have a recipe for homemade oat flour, and all you’ll need are old-fashioned rolled oats and a food processor or blender!

As simple as it is to make, this flour can yield incredible baked goods and breakfasts. It’s a terrific substitute for wheat flour in many recipes. 

How to Make Blueberry Breakfast Bread

While you can get a slice of blueberry bread from the bakery, this breakfast bread version is both incredibly simple and much better for you. The oat flour, banana, honey, and fresh lemon zest add just enough sweetness and heartiness you’d expect from a delicious bowl of oats but by the slice.

The recipe is easy to make and the texture and flavor are worth the minimal effort and exceeds every expectation.

Preheat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a 9 x 5-inch (23 x 10cm) loaf pan with parchment paper.

Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, and salt.

Blend the Wet Ingredients
In a blender, place the honey, banana, coconut oil, eggs, vanilla, and lemon zest. Blend on medium speed until the ingredients are combined, and you have a smooth, frothy texture.

Combine
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredient bowl, and slowly whisk until combined. Add in the oats, and mix, then gently fold in the blueberries into the batter.

Bake
Pour the batter into the pan and bake 45 – 55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. If your bread loaf is looking golden around minute 35, cover with a piece of tin foil.

Cool and enjoy
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool down in the pan for 10 minutes before lifting the parchment paper out of the pan and slicing the blueberry loaf.

Gluten-Free Breakfast Bread

This blueberry oat breakfast bread is made with oat flour. Oat flour is naturally gluten-free and super easy to make. Of course, if you have celiacs disease, make sure to check the label of your oats to make sure it’s free of no cross-contamination. 

Buy using oat flour to make this recipe, the result is a bread with a moist and crumbly texture -unlike using a rice-based gluten-free flour blend that tends to dry out the loaf.

It also has a nutty flavor that is superb when combined with the honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

This breakfast bread is also referred to as a quick bread because there’s no yeast and it rises immediately when baked. Overall, it’s an epic gluten-free breakfast bread recipe you’ll want to make over and over again.

How to Freeze Breakfast Bread for Later

In the case that you have leftovers, this bread can be frozen and served for a quick treat later. I often do this to have a snack on hand for the kids or when I’m having one of those days.

Start by allowing the bread to cool down to room temperature if it’s not already. Once the bread is cooled, slice it thickly into individual portions.

Wrap each portion with plastic wrap and store in an airtight container; repeat with remaining slices.

The bread will last for up to 2 months in the freezer. Reheat it from frozen in the toaster oven or microwave, no thawing required!

Of course, you can always thaw an entire loaf whole, using the same wrapping process, but individual slices are much easier to grab and go, plus no bread goes to waste.
