This blueberry oat bread has a delicious crumbly texture, and when it’s fresh out of the oven, your house will smell like a bakery.

Blueberry Bread
This amazing blueberry oat bread is both incredibly simple and healthier than regular breakfast bread. It’s on page 34 of my Clean Treats Cookbook, and it has been one of my go-to breakfasts for years!
It has no wheat flour, no dairy, or refined sugars, so how exactly do you get a moist quick bread without all the classic baking staples? Oat flour! It makes the bread moist, with a crumbly texture that tastes like your next favorite blueberry breakfast recipe.

Blueberry Breakfast Bread Ingredients
The dry ingredients you’ll need are oat flour, baking powder (essential for fluffiness), and old-fashioned oats for an irresistible hearty texture. The wet ingredients are honey (or maple syrup), coconut oil (or melted butter), eggs, and vanilla extract. Finally, the fruit: blueberries, ripe banana (for natural sweetness), and lemon zest.
Fresh or Frozen Blueberries
You can use fresh blueberries or frozen for this recipe. If using frozen, they will bake right into the bread and have an amazing jelly-like texture.

How to Make Blueberry Breakfast Bread
As you can see in the following steps and the video below, this blueberry oat bread comes together effortlessly:
- Whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Blend the wet ingredients in a blender until you have a smooth, frothy texture.
- Combine the wet mixture with the dry ingredients in the bowl, and slowly whisk until well combined. Add the oats, and mix, then gently fold in the blueberries into the batter. Pour the batter into a lined loaf pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 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.
How to Freeze Breakfast Bread for Later
Allow the bread to cool to room temperature, and then slice it thickly into individual portions. Wrap each portion with plastic wrap and store in an airtight container. 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!
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.
Can I turn this quick bread into muffins?
This quick blueberry oat bread recipe yields 12 standard-sized muffins! Just line the muffin pan with cupcake liners or grease it, fill each about ¾ of the way to the top, and bake the muffin batter in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Mrs.S says
I know a loaf in my home won’t last long enough to freeze. How should it be stored for a day or two w/o freezing?
Laura Fuentes says
You can place the room temperature loaf in an airtight container and leave it at room temperature or refrigerate. Hope this helps!
Kate says
Is there a substitute for the coconut oil? Olive or canola maybe?
Laura Fuentes says
Butter or canola oil will work!
Deb says
I used Macadamia Oil and it worked fine 🙂
DP says
This looks delicious! I am always looking for recipes that use oat flour instead of all purpose flour for it’s greater nutrient content.
My kids turn up their noses at anything with fruit baked into it, so I will try this with chocolate chips instead.
Can the coconut oil be substituted for another oil? I have high cholesterol and the high amount of saturated fat in coconut oil isn’t good for me.
Laura Fuentes says
Substitute chocolate chips is a great idea, I do this with my kids too! use butter or canola oil, which ever oil/fat you typically use in your baked recipes. enjoy!
Lauren says
Can I use frozen blueberries? I made it once with fresh. It’s so good, I need another loaf but only have frozen.
Laura Fuentes says
Yes you can! They’ll bake right into the bread and have a jelly-like texture you’ll love.
Angelika says
This recept sounds very good! My problem is, I hate bananas! How to replace it?
Laura Fuentes says
You won’t taste the banana at all in this recipe -not like banana bread. That said, you can use canned pumpkin instead. Enjoy!
Elida says
I used unsweetened applesauce …worked great
Ciara Burke says
Hi Laura,
I love your recipe book. I made this recipe today and it tastes so good but it’s very wet. I stuck exactly to the recipe but had to bake it for 1.5 hours and it was still very wet. What can I do to prevent this happening again?
Thanks,
Ciara.
Laura Fuentes says
Hi Ciara, I am glad the bread tasted great for you. There are a couple of culprits for longer baking needs: 1) size of the pan being smaller and taller therefore needing deeper baking. 2) Are you baking at a high altitude? If so, baking time will be slightly longer or ovens need adjustment of 25degrees F. The final question is, was your oven rack too low or is your oven fully calibrated? Even a 20-30F difference will cause baked goods like breads (especially) to take longer to bake. I hope this helps!
