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.
