Ingredients
For the Lemon Blueberry Bread:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ⅓ cup vegan butter, melted
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 2 vegan eggs (equivalent with vegan egg replacer, such as Bob’s Red Mill)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- ½ cup non-dairy milk (rice, oat, almond, or soy)
- ⅔ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
For the Lemon Glaze:
- ⅔ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Preparation
For the Lemon Blueberry Bread:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with vegan butter.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the melted vegan butter, granulated sugar, vegan egg replacer, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the non-dairy milk. Stir until just combined—avoid overmixing.
5. Rinse the blueberries and remove any stems. Place them in a small bowl and toss with 1-2 teaspoons of flour to coat. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 50 minutes to avoid overbaking.
7. Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30-40 minutes before removing.
For the Lemon Glaze:
8. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth and slightly thick but pourable. Adjust the consistency by adding more sugar or juice as needed.
9. Once the bread is cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top and sprinkle with additional lemon zest.
10. Slice and serve this delightful vegan lemon blueberry bread warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
This recipe is perfect for those seeking a vegan baking adventure or a healthy dessert option. It’s also a fantastic way to impress guests with a plant-based treat that doesn’t compromise on flavor!
