Blueberry Breakfast Bread

February 22, 2016 By Danielle Leave a Comment

blueberry breakfast bread www.redkitchenette.comI love a good food magazine.  Be it healthy, not healthy, family-focused, dietary-focused, you name it, I’ll buy it.  And there are quite a few laying around my house.  Audrey loves to flip through them and pick out what she’d like to make (and yes, I think it is beyond adorable!).  Recently she saw a blueberry cake in one and asked if we could make it.  While I wasn’t interested in making the white sugar and white flour laden one she saw, I was interested in making one with her we could all enjoy together.  As my sous chef and co-creator, we came up with this blueberry breakfast bread.  Our version could certainly be considered a cake – but it is so healthy and so delicious we consider it a bread that can be enjoyed any time of day.  Especially breakfast time.

This recipe is:

  • Healthy
  • Great for toddlers and babies
  • Easily made with whatever ingredients you have on hand (you can use any type of granulated sugar, a gluten-free AP flour instead of whole-wheat, dried blueberries instead of fresh, etc…)
  • This bread can easily be made vegan by omitting eggs and adding 2 flax eggs.  To make 2 flax eggs, combine 6 tablespoons of water with 2 tablespoons of flax meal. Stir well and place in the fridge to set for 15 minutes.
  • Fun to make with kids
  • Dairy-free
  • Made with whole-grains
  • Great for breakfast or as a snack
  • Easy to make

Blueberry Breakfast Bread
Serves: Approx. 2 dozen squares
 
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups whole-wheat pastry flour
  • 2 cups whole oats
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 eggs, lightly whisked
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • ½ coconut oil, melted
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pint blueberries (about 2 cups)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350. Line a 13x9 baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Lightly coat paper/foil with oil or cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, eggs, maple syrup, oil, applesauce, and vanilla until combined well. Slowly stir the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Lightly mix with a rubber spatula until combined. Fold in the blueberries.
  4. Using the spatula, spread the batter evenly into the pan. Bake on the middle rack until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, about 30-35 minutes.
  5. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool completely. Once cooled, pull the parchment/foil from the pan and cut into squares.
