My kids are mad about blueberries. They love blueberry smoothies, blueberry pancakes and blueberries straight from the punnet. So, when The Health Mummy shared with me a super tasty recipe for Apple and Blueberry Loaf, I knew I’d get extra brownie points from the rug rats. Little do they realise it’s also refined sugar and dairy free!

 

Apple and Blueberry Loaf Recipe

Serves 12-15

 

Ingredients

• 2 apples
• 1 cup blueberries
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup coconut or olive oil
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 cup walnuts
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp allspice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups wholemeal flour
• 1 cup almond meal

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180 c.
2. Peel and grate apples. Put into a large mixing bowl with blueberries, eggs, oil, chia seeds, baking powder, walnuts, cinnamon, allspice and vanilla. Mix well to combine.
3. Add flour and almond meal and gently combine. You want quite a thick, dense batter, so don’t over mix.
4. Line a loaf with greaseproof paper.
5. Spoon batter into the tin and bake for 45-55 minutes until the top of the loaf turns golden and a skewer inserted in the centre come out clean.
