Vegan Glazed Blueberry Loaf

This gorgeous vegan blueberry pound cake is soft, fluffy, and filled with bursts of sweet, juicy blueberries in every slice. The tender crumb pairs perfectly with the smooth vanilla glaze that melts over the top, creating that irresistible bakery-style look and flavor. It’s one of those recipes that makes your kitchen smell amazing and feels like a warm hug with a cup of coffee or tea on a slow morning.

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour

1/2 cup Sugar

1 Tablespoon Baking Powder

1/4 tsp Salt

1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (or any plant-based milk)

1/4 cup Vegetable Oil

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

1 cup Fresh or Frozen Blueberries

I created this vegan blueberry pound cake when I was living in Puerto Vallarta and discovered the most beautiful fresh blueberries at the local farmers market. The combination of sweet berries and soft vanilla cake instantly reminded me of my love for bakery loaves. Every bite is tender, comforting, and full of juicy bursts of flavor. It’s the kind of dessert that feels homemade and heartfelt — perfect for breakfast, dessert, or sharing with friends over coffee.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 8 x 4 loaf pan with parchment paper, set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, mix almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Combine wet and dry ingredients, then gently fold in the blueberries to evenly incorporate.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a little light brown on top and a toothpick comes out clear. Allow to cool completely before cutting and serving.
