This banana bread will complement any healthy meal or snack. It’s also delicious toasted and topped with a thin layer of butter or a non-dairy substitute.
To Make This GF Vegan Banana Blueberry Bread You Will Need:
- Bananas ~ just barely ripe for Low FODMAP
- Pure maple syrup, honey, or half of each
- Water
- Olive oil
- Vanilla extract
- Oat flour ~ optional regular all-purpose if not gluten-free
- Baking soda
- Baking powder ~ corn-free if needed
- Salt
- Chopped walnuts ~ omit for nut-free and low-fat
- Blueberries ~ I prefer fresh, but thawed frozen berries are ok too
When this bread comes out of the oven nicely golden brown, you will be tempted to slice off a piece right away, but it’s important to let it rest for 10-15 minutes before removing it from the loaf pan. Then let it cool to room temperature for best results before slicing.
