Gluten Free Blueberry Bread

Sweet, warm, fresh-out-of-the-oven Gluten Free Blueberry Bread to kick off the end of summer and transition to fall! It’s SO GOOD, y’all. This one’s a staple in my household!

Every time I go to the grocery store, I tend to get a little over zealous about my food decisions. I decide that I need to load up on A LOT of produce so that I’ll be “forced” to make healthy decision instead of reach for “bad stuff”.

I end up going crazy and loading up the produce, and then I see the Honey Bunches of Oats in the cereal aisle. And then I buy two boxes to “have on hand just in case” (in case of what?! Nobody knows). And then when I come home it’s all I eat, because HI CARBS! Who doesn’t love ’em.

Yes, we all have goals that we’re reaching for. Mine are to eat more raw produce and less boxed and packaged stuff. It’s tough, y’all! I wasn’t raised that way, and sometimes I just want a big bowl of sugary cereal! Or pizza. Or donuts. And by sometimes I mean…everyday.

So I end up with all this produce, and a week later I haven’t touched it. It’s just in the fridge….just wasting away….all of my expensive, organic produce…..It’s sad. Really. But me being Christine, I can’t stand the thought of wasting anything. So, Jar Of Lemons’ recipes like this Gluten Free Blueberry Bread are born!

What Blueberries are Best, Fresh or Frozen?

You can use either for this recipe and it’ll taste delicious! I used fresh for the recipe because they needed using up but frozen will work perfectly fine.

Also it might be helpful to note that there isn’t a great difference when it comes to nutritional value between fresh and frozen so you won’t be missing out.

This Gluten Free Blueberry Bread is great for making in advance

I slice it up and keep it in a Pyrex container, (opens in a new tab) but it’s also great simply wrapped up. It should last about a week in the refrigerator! Also, this recipe is very similar to the Vegan Zucchini Bread recipe. If you have pretty much any type of produce going bad in the fridge right now, there’s a bread recipe out there for that! 😉
