Blueberry Collagen Banana Bread

Need an easy banana bread recipe that tastes incredible & is also gluten, dairy & refined sugar-free? Look no further than this blueberry collagen banana bread!

There is something just so comforting about the smell of warm banana bread fresh from the oven. Maybe because I grew up with that smell on the weekends from my mom making it for us all! This recipe is sure to bring that same kind of feeling but with a few added nourishing ingredients!

Gluten-free blueberry collagen banana bread

I haven’t tested this with many flours yet, but I do plan to. The one I have tested it with is this one. I love this GF flour for my baking purposes & find it works really well in a 1:1 ratio with regular.

Dairy-free blueberry collagen banana bread

We are using avocado (or melted coconut oil) in this recipe rather than butter or other dairy-filled ingredients. We will still have that same great texture, I promise. You won’t even be able to tell this recipe is 100% dairy-free!

Refined sugar-free

The sweetness in this recipe comes from all-natural goodness. We have those extra-ripe bananas, blueberries, unsweetened applesauce & a couple tablespoons of maple syrup. Traditional banana bread recipes often call for a significant amount of added sugar, but you will realize you don’t need all of that after you try out this version!

Make this blueberry collagen banana bread into a loaf or muffins:

Simply swap out a loaf pan in the recipe for a muffin pan to make these into yummy blueberry banana bread muffins! Make sure to grease the muffin pan generously, or my preference, use liners for easy removal after baking. Note that if you make muffins the baking time will be significantly less, so just keep an eye on them & check them regularly.

Freeze your blueberry collagen banana bread

This bread can easily be frozen & enjoyed as desired. I like to pre-slice it & store it in individual baggies in the freezer so I can take each one out as needed. I like to re-heat it up in the oven or the microwave until the bread is nice & warm throughout & then top with some creamy & melty ghee or butter (coconut oil or almond butter is a great dairy-free topping). Such a drool-worthy combination!

Ingredients you will need for the recipe:

• Ripe bananas (the riper, the better!)
• Avocado oil or coconut oil (I like to get these at Costco, but you can also find them here)
• Eggs
• Vanilla extract
• Pink salt
• Baking soda
• Cinnamon
• Collagen peptides
• Unsweetened applesauce
• Maple syrup
• Flax-meal (aka ground flaxseed)
• Gluten-free baking flour (this is my favourite)
• Blueberries (fresh or frozen)

How to make blueberry collagen banana bread:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. I like to grease the ends with ghee & then line the parchment paper along the middle to easily pick up (see photos above).
3. In a large mixing bowl add you ingredients & mix together well, adding the blueberries last.
4. Pour into you prepared pan.
5. Bake for 65-75 minutes until a fork or knife comes out relatively clean. The top should be browned & crispy/firm to the touch. Note that if you’re making muffins the baking time will be less, so check regularly. Baking times can also vary depending on the type of pan & your oven so just keep an eye on your bread while it bakes.
6. Remove from the oven & let cool completely before cutting or removing your loaf.
7. Slice & enjoy!
