Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and coat a 9 x 5–inch (23 x 13–cm) loaf pan with homemade pan release (page 180) or spray it with nonstick spray, then line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar and cinnamon (if using). Gently stir in the fresh blueberries, then set the mixture aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, eggs, brown sugar, coconut milk, oil and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently stir until they’re combined.
Transfer the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a tester inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
Cool the loaf in the pan for 20 minutes, then cool it completely on a wire rack.
Notes
Storage Note: Store the bread wrapped tightly in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 3 days. To freeze it, tightly wrap the whole loaf, sliced or unsliced, in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
