Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup Plant-based milk (such as almond or soy milk)
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar, applesauce, plant-based milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as it can result in a denser loaf.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to squish them.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the Vegan Blueberry Loaf as is or with a spread of vegan butter or jam.
