Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour (cup for cup gluten free if needed)
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (see FAQs above about using frozen)
  • ½ cup vegan butter, melted
  • ¾ cup vegan cane sugar
  • 6 oz dairy free yogurt (sub for canned coconut milk - the thick fatty part)
  • ¾ cup applesauce
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla

For the Glaze, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. 
    Lightly spray or grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Line with parchment paper and nonstick spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add blueberries and fold together. Set bowl aside.
  • In a separate bowl, add melted vegan butter, cane sugar, dairy free yogurt, applesauce, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla. Combine well.
  • Add dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour into greased bread pan. Do not fill more than ⅔ full.
    *If you have too much batter for your pan, make mini muffins or similar with remaining batter after bread is done.
  • Place in oven for 50-60 minutes on the center rack of the oven.  When done, a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 
  • *The top of the bread should be a deep brown color. If after 45 minutes, your bread needs more time, cover the top with foil and continue cooking in 5 minute intervals until the toothpick comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven and place on a cool rack to cool completely before pulling out. Let cool for at least 20 minutes.

For the Glaze

  • While baking, make the glaze by whisking powdered sugar and lemon juice together until well combined.
  • Once bread has cooled, drizzle over the top.
  • Store any leftovers in an air tight container for up to a 3-5 days.
