Light & ultra soft banana bread, bursting with sweet blueberries? and no refined sugar or oil!

First there was the Pumpkin Banana Bread
Then Gingerbread Banana Bread
And just like those other flavors, this homemade blueberry banana bread can be gluten-free, whole-grain, vegan, and completely free of refined sugar? it can also be oil-free.
My initial plan had been to make the banana loaf for a brunch at a friend?s apartment in the city. But after staying out until 3am for New Year?s Eve, the idea of spending January 1st at home alone in my pajamas sounded much too appealing to resist. Since I’d already bought the ingredients, I made the banana bread anyway, and kept it all to myself. Definitely not complaining about the start of 2018!
After taking the loaf from the oven and discovering some of the blueberries magically resembled tiny hearts, I decided to run with the heart theme, using a cookie cutter to make a vegan butter heart and taking a few liberties with Photoshop to really play up the natural shape of the berries and add a cartoon-like finish to the photo. Sometimes I have way too much fun with my job.
If you?ve been a longtime reader, you might remember the tradition here on The Healthy Dessert Blog of devoting each January to healthy breakfast recipes. While this year I decided to post other things as well, there will absolutely be breakfast recipes too! You can also find all of my breakfast recipes at the link below:
