Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh
  • grated orange zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh
  • lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups self-rising flour (sub with rye/spelt flour)
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons cake flour
    Glaze
  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • Orange zest

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and grease a small bread tin. 2. You can also line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, orange zest, lemon juice, melted coconut oil and vanilla until well combined.
3. To the bowl with the wet ingredients, add the flour, corn starch, baking powder and salt. Stir until just combined, being careful not to over mix or your bread will be dense.
4. Rinse the blueberries, then toss them with the flour in a small bowl. Fold the blueberries into the batter.
5. Pour into the prepared pan, place in the centre rack of the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
6. Cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then carefully remove from the pan and transfer to a cooling rack with parchment paper below (to catch the glaze drippings).
7. Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients and whisk until smooth. Pour over the loaf and allow to rest for 20-30 minutes. Slice and serve.
