This was one of those recipes in which I had a craving for flavor (in this case, lemon) and a new dish was born.  Yummy! I’ve been experimenting more and more with aquafaba, the juice from canned chickpeas, and really liking the results.

It looks like there are a lot of ingredients here but a lot of them are spices.  It really isn’t any more labor intensive than any other loaf, muffin or cookie recipe I’ve got.  The key is to put the blueberries in the bottom of the loaf pan so that when it cools and you flip it over, you have a yummy, dark purple blueberry topping.  Cool looking and even better tasting.

Whether you're looking for a light dessert or a healthy snack, this loaf fits the bill. Lemon and blueberry taste great together and I find the combination of primarily whole-grain, gluten-free flours works really well in this vegan goody!

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

• 1 cup oat flour See Notes
• 1/2 cup sorghum flour See Notes
• 1/4 cup millet flour See Notes
• 1/4 cup tapioca starch/flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp coriander
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 rounded tsp xanthan gum
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1 TBS poppy seeds optional but I like the slight crunch
• 2/3 cup raw sugar or other minimally processed dry sugar like Sucanat
• 1 cup blueberries

Wet Ingredients

• 1 cup non-dairy milk
• 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup applesauce
• 3 TBS aquafaba See Notes

Servings: loaf

Units:MetricUS Imperial

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray loaf pan with cooking spray and place blueberries in the bottom of the pan. Arrange them to get a single, even layer. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl or glass measuring pitcher combine non-dairy milk and vinegar and let sit while you assemble dry ingredients.
3. Combine dry ingredients (NOT the blueberries) in a large bowl and whisk together.
4. To non-dairy milk/vinegar mixture add the rest of the wet ingredients and whisk well.
5. Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until well combined. Pour batter over blueberries and bang the pan gently to even out batter, remove bubbles and so the batter can squeeze through some of the blueberry nooks and crannies.
6. Bake 45-50 minutes. Let cool before flipping loaf out of the pan and slicing (with blueberries on the top side).

Recipe Notes

You can purchase these flours or run whole rolled oats, sorghum and millet through the blender to make flour.  Make sure it's very fine.  If you don't have a high-powered blender, purchasing the flour may be your best bet.

Aquafaba is the juice drained off from canned chickpeas.  It's a great egg/egg white replacement.  Simply save the liquid next time you open a can of chickpeas and store it in the fridge.  Great for use in baked goods, meringues, pancakes, etc.
