Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a standard loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash 2-3 overripe bananas in a large mixing bowl, then add 1/2 cup almond or oat milk, 1/3 cup melted vegan butter, and 1/4 cup maple syrup; mix until combined.
  3. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and a splash of vanilla extract into the mixture; fold in gently.
  4. Add 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup almond flour; stir until smooth.
  5. Fold in 1 to 1.5 cups blueberries, making sure they are evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and tap lightly on the countertop. Bake for approximately 50 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Once baked, let the bread cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  8. For optional frosting, mix together 1/2 cup vegan cream cheese, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and powdered sugar until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled bread.
