This delicious vegan Blueberry Banana Bread recipe is filled with plenty of blueberries and walnuts. It's a super moist banana nut bread and I think it might be the best one I’ve made yet. On top of that, it is a simple and fast recipe that you’ll love making over and over again.
Don't you just love banana bread? They are such an easy quick bread and can be changed up so easily.
This time it's a Super Moist Banana Nut Bread with Blueberries. It is perfect and I actually think it might be the best one I have ever made. How can that be possible?
It is so comforting to know that one is sitting on your kitchen counter and you can snack on it whenever you please. This version is also quite nutritious because it's packed with healthy wholesome ingredients and sweetened with organic sugar.
It also doesn’t take long before it pops out of the oven and you can enjoy that first bite. All the more reason to love this recipe—quick, easy to make and it always turns out good.
The flavor combination is amazing!
Blueberries and Walnuts are The Stars!
As if a regular vegan blueberry banana bread recipe isn’t already a treat in itself—try my Breakfast Banana Cake—this loaf has something extra special with each bite:
Wonderful sweet blueberries!
These fruits add a burst of juiciness to every bite. No need to top it off with any jam, because these berries have already got you covered.
A simple slice such an excellent snack in itself.
I used frozen berries for the photos in this recipe. But you can use fresh blueberries anytime you can get your hands on them
- Fiber-Rich Walnuts
Walnuts add a nice crunch to banana bread. They're naked in so they're a little softer than raw walnuts.
They're also full of fiber and contain tons of healthy fats too.
I particularly like them in this recipe because of the earthy flavor they add to the bread. They balance the sweetness in this bread.
Chef's Tips
- When baking with blueberries always fold them into the batter at the very end to make sure that they stay intact. It is to prevent any blue streaking before the mix goes into the oven.
- You can see the nice color of the batter in the photo below. The raw batter doesn't come up too far in the pan but it rises well to give you a nice thick slice.
Enjoy this vegan Blueberry Banana Bread Any Time of the Day!
I really mean this. There is no wrong time to enjoy this homemade quick bread.
The smell is fantastic. But I do recommend to let it cool a bit first. And I promise that you will be rewarded for the wait.
It slices much better when it's cooled.
We enjoy it as a snack, for breakfast, and even dessert. Cold or toasted it is great! I slather dairy-free butter on it when it's toasted.
Make this banana bread because it is simple and, quite frankly, delicious!

Thank you so much Suee33. Yes, you can use gluten-free flour but buy one of the mixes (Bob's Red Mill or Arrowhead Mills) that has a 1:1 substitute. You can't just go straight across with one kind of gluten-free flour.

I made this yesterday. It was a fast recipe to put together, it has a thick batter. It came out GREAT and it IS Delicious - will be making this many times.
Can you use a GF flour in this recipe?
Thank you Ginny,

You did perfectly Heather. Sorry about that and I fixed the recipe. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi 🙂 I am getting ready to throw this into the oven, but am I missing where I was supposed to throw the flax mixture into the batter? I stirred it in with the banana, hopefully that works... 🙂

That is so fantastic Lindsay! Thank you very much. Yes, the flour mixture sounds good too. If you have a springform pan and like chocolate you might want to try the Decadent Chocolate Torte. It is amazing for baked goods.

Thank you for posting this recipe! I used half whole wheat flour and half bread flour. This was hands down the best vegan baked good I've ever made!
