Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and set a 9x5-inch loaf pan nearby.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk the mashed banana, Naked Juice Power Garden Berry Veggie, granulated sugar, eggs or egg substitute, vanilla extract, and coconut oil or canola oil until smooth.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the whole wheat pastry flour, all-purpose flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

  4. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir just until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.

  5. Gently fold in the blueberries, fresh or frozen, without crushing them.

  6. Spread the batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top.

  7. Bake for about 35 minutes, until the top is golden, a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, and the center is set.

  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn the loaf out onto a rack to cool completely before slicing.
