This bread is beyond soft, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth! Your kitchen is going to turn in to your own at-home bakery!
The Simple Ingredients You Need
No need for fancy ingredients with this blueberry loaf!
- Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- Sorghum Flour
- Baking Powder
- Light Brown Sugar Sweetener
- Granulated Sweetener
- Vanilla Extract
- Egg Replacement
- Vegan/Allergy-Free BUtter
- Non-Dairy Milk
- BLUEBERRIES
Using Fresh or Frozen Blueberries
Depending on the season you're making this quick bread, you can opt or fresh or frozen blueberries. If you're using fresh blueberries, toss them in a few tablespoons of extra flour before adding them to your batter to prevent sinkage. If you're using frozen blueberries, no need to thaw them! Give them a light toss in flour and add them straight to the batter! Your baking time may need to increase a bit due to the temperature difference, so watch your loaf!
The Buttery Crumb Topping
This streusel topping is made with some extra flour, brown and granulated sweetener, and cold vegan butter! You can add some cinnamon if desired too! I love the simple taste of the brown sugar sweetener and blueberries together, no need to cinnamon! Just crumble these ingredients together and sprinkle the topping over the blueberry bread batter in your loaf pan before baking! You'll get a delicious, slightly crunchy, bakery-style topping!
Baking Tips and Storage
- Always toss your blueberries in a few tablespoons of flour. Just enough to lightly coast them which will prevent all the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of your loaf!
- You can swap out the sorghum flour with another cup of gluten-free all-purpose flour if you have difficulty getting it.
- You can use two flax eggs or powdered egg replacement like Bob's Red Mill.
- Use COLD butter when making the crumb topping. If you want your crumb to be super crunchy, add more granulated sugar over adding more brown sugar.
- Once you've baked the loaf, let it cool slightly before easing it out of the pan on to a wire rack to cool completely and prevent the bottom of the bread from getting soggy.
- Store the loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Store the container in the fridge for up to 5 days. To freeze the loaf, pre-slice and wrap each slice in wax paper or foil for easy freezing and thawing! Freeze for up to 6 months for the best quality!
- Serve your vegan blueberry bread cold, room temperature, or warm (give it a slight toast in a toaster oven or warm in the microwave). Slather on some blueberry jam or vegan butter!

*You can use more all-purpose instead of using the sorghum flour.
**You can use flax eggs instead. 2 TB Milled Flax Seed + 4 TB Water.
