You've gotta make this Orange Blueberry Breakfast Bread! It's so delicious, lightly sweetened and easily gluten-free. Served with orange mascarpone frosting. 
Servings: 8 slices
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes

Equipment

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup all-purpose baking flour, can substitute gluten free all-purpose flour 1:1, see notes
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • 1 cup oatmeal flour, ground from rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
  • 2-3 Tablespoons sliced almonds, for topping (optional)
  • 8 ounces Mascarpone cheese, or cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon orange zest
  • 2 tablespoon orange juice
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and dried spices. 
  • Mix eggs, oil, maple syrup, orange juice, zest, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until well combined.
  • Add in egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined. 
  • Wash and dry blueberries, then roll berries in extra flour (to keep blueberries from sinking) and fold into batter.
  • Lightly spray a loaf pan, then pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle almonds on top. 
  • Cook for 45-50 minutes, or until bread is lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
  • While the bread is cooking, prepare the spread: mix together the softened cheese, powdered sugar, orange zest and juice and vanilla extract. 
  • Slice bread and serve with orange-cheese frosting. 

Notes

I tested this both with all-purpose flour and gluten-free flour (Cup for Cup) and I preferred the all-purpose version, though the gluten-free option works. I think the gluten-free option was more crumbly than the all-purpose version.
