Our Blueberry Breakfast Bread only requires one bowl to make, is super fluffy, and so easy to make!
This Blueberry Breakfast Bread is somewhere between blueberry bread and blueberry cake, but it has just the right sweetness (with no refined sugar), the right crumb, and is unbelievably moist. It is without a doubt one of the best vegan sweet treats and is surprisingly simple. It’s a really basic recipe, so feel free to add more cinnamon, nuts, extra fruit, crumbs, etc., and know you can use ANY berry or fruit and it would still be delicious. Make no mistake though, this sweet bread is anything but dull and we cannot wait for you to give it a go!
We love this Blueberry Breakfast Bread and know you will too! It is time to cozy up and do some delicious vegan baking.
This Blueberry Breakfast Bread Is:
- Perfect for breakfast or as a treat throughout the day.
- Kid-approved.
- Plant-based and Vegan.
- Easy to make and perfect to bake (plus easy to make an extra loaf to share).
When in Season…
This Blueberry Breakfast Bread recipe calls for fresh blueberries, so we encourage you to keep an eye on those berry sales whenever you visit your local grocery store. This happens usually when they are in season and the harvest is in full swing.
This advice applies to any seasonal vegetable or fruit you’re after. It will not only support your local farmers, but it will also save you a lot of money and taste. That’s right, buying seasonal produce will ensure you have the ripest and most flavorful fruits and vegetables.

Thanks!
Made this and took it to a work potluck breakfast and everyone loved it. Almost the whole loaf disappeared. I did use 2 cups of blueberries and baked at 350 for 50-55 minutes. Thanks for such a great recipe.
That’s so awesome to hear! So glad everyone enjoyed it!
I love this bread. I just finished making blueberry bread in my Oster bread maker. But it doesn’t have nearly as many good ingredients as you have in your bread. I’m going to keep your blog around for a while because you have innovated ideas and I can learn from you. I’ve been been Vegan for seven years and it’s always a good to find intelligent cooking/baking. That is this wonderful bread
Toni has such awesome recipes on her blog! So glad you enjoyed this bread!
can I use frozen blueberries?
Thanks!
Hi Ramona! You can try using frozen, but fresh blueberries are recommended for this recipe.
This was so delicious and satisfying. Applesauce instead of oil worked fabulously. I did the 9×9 pan for 20 minutes at 400 and it was enjoyed by all.
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll try the apple sauce sub next time I whip it up!
I’d love to know if I can use a healthier flour like whole wheat, almond flour, coconut flour etc? will it bake the same?
We at Plant-Based on a Budget haven’t tried that out yet so can’t guarantee the results but please let us know how it turns out if you do! 🙂
Can frozen berries be used?
Yes! Feel free to use frozen berries in this recipe. Enjoy!
I tried baking it in a loaf pan and I think I would recommend 350 degrees F for and hour. Got too dark on top at 400, still soggy in the middle, and left in for 45 minutes.
Thanks for your input – we appreciate it! Oven temperatures can be tricky!
Thank you Deird for suggesting 350 for 1 hour. I was surprised that it said 490 on the recipe so decided to look at reviews and saw yours. Again thank you!!!
Hope you enjoyed it 🙂 It’s one of my faves from the blog!
I would like to have this for breakfast
You’d love it!
Loving this blueberry breakfast bread! So delicious!
So easy and makes the kitchen smell so good!
