Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Mash the overripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
  3. Combine unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup, melted vegan butter, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla extract into the mashed bananas. Mix until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the regular and almond flour to break up lumps. Sift in dry ingredients as needed.
  5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently. Fold in fresh blueberries.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Tap the pan lightly to remove air bubbles.
  7. Bake for approximately 50 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Optional: frost with vegan cream cheese frosting.
  9. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature as breakfast, snack, or dessert.
