Blueberry Banana Oat Bread (vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar free)
This blueberry banana oat bread is made with wholesome ingredients, naturally sweetened, vegan, and gluten-free. It’s healthy enough for breakfast, great as a snack, and also delicious for dessert.
I love the pops of juicy blueberries paired with the sweet banana bread. It is easy to make and filled with nourishing ingredients like oats and almond flour. This banana bread is so moist and denser than your traditional banana bread made with regular flour. I really enjoy how hearty it is because it’s filling and makes you feel good after eating it.
I highly recommend you making this banana bread next time you have some ripe bananas! The kids loved it and it’s something I feel good about feeding them.

Blueberry Banana Oat Bread (vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar free)
Ingredients
- 3 super ripe, medium bananas
- 2 flax eggs (2 Tbsp flax seed + 5 Tbsp water)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup avocado oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups oat flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup fresh blueberries, save some for topping
- 1 Tbsp oats, to sprinkle on top (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 8x4 loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, make the flax eggs by combing the ground flaxseed and water. Stir and set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
- In a medium bowl, add the oat flour, almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until combined.
- In the bowl with the flax eggs, mash the ripe bananas. Then add the vanilla, oil, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet. Stir with a spatula until just combined. Don’t overmix! Fold in blueberries.
- Pour batter into the lined pan. Top with more blueberries and sprinkle some oats on top (optional).
- Bake for 65-70 minutes, or until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Since it is a denser loaf, this needs a longer bake time. Let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then transfer bread to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
