Paleo Ginger Spiced Blueberry Bread

If you happen to be searching for the perfect bridge between warm end-of-September days & fall flavor cravings: this paleo ginger spiced blueberry bread will knock your socks off! Between the hints of warm seasonal spices and bursts of fresh blueberries, this paleo bread recipe is easily one of my early Fall favorites.

A Ginger Spiced Blueberry Bread

To some it may seem like an unconventional pairing, but I promise this flavor combination is absolutely magical. I’ve always found the weeks in between season changes my favorite when there’s a little mix of both in the air. The summer-into-fall exchange is by far my favorite though, and I know I’m probably not alone!

Then it becomes even crazier to me that I have yet to create a recipe before this past weekend that captures this feeling! An idea for a ginger spiced blueberry bread crossed my mind and I just couldn’t shake it. Naturally, this meant spending hours in the kitchen Saturday afternoon trying to make the most perfect variation of a ginger spiced blueberry bread that could ever be possible (using Paleo-based ingredients of course)!

The result: a playful balance of warm gingerbread-like spices & sweet summertime blueberries all wrapped into a soft paleo loaf. I love eating this paleo ginger spiced blueberry bread for a quick ready-to-go breakfast or easy snack!

A Paleo Bread Recipe (That’s Actually Good)

It’s no secret that breads & cakes are the most difficult to use untraditional, paleo-based ingredients for. Without gluten or fine, refined sugar to keep the texture as light and fluffy as the original versions, paleo breads and cakes are always something I’ve apprehensive to try. Since unrefined ingredients from natural sources are typically heavier and less sweet, these types of recipes can go south VERY quickly in terms of both taste & texture.

With that said, its all totally worth the gamble. Because when the perfect paleo bread recipe comes together, its even sweeter!

My little secret to the perfect paleo bread recipe: green banana flour! Not only is green banana flour an incredible source of resistant starch- a very healthy type of prebiotic fiber- but it’s also much lighter than other paleo-approved flour alternatives are to help the bread rise better. I love using a blend of green banana flour with a nut-based flour since the taste of green banana flour alone can be slightly bitter. After all, it’s really just a ground-up version of an unripe banana!

My Favorite Ways to Eat Paleo Ginger Spiced Blueberry Bread

Surprisingly, my favorite way to eat paleo ginger spiced blueberry bread is topping it with grass-fed cheddar, putting it in the oven to broil until the cheese melts, and topping it all with a drizzle of honey. Obviously, this completely defeats the purpose of this recipe being a paleo-based one but if your stomach can tolerate aged dairy, I cannot recommend trying this enough! I’m obsessed.

If you’re looking to keep it paleo, I’ve also been loving topping a slice of paleo ginger spiced blueberry bread with softened coconut oil & honey, creamy almond butter with more sliced almonds, or with more warmed up mashed blueberries & pecan pieces.

To let you in on a secret it’s even incredible plain, slightly warmed up in the microwave, eaten at my office desk! You really can’t go wrong however you choose to eat this paleo ginger spiced blueberry bread recipe in my humble opinion.

What You’ll Need:

• 8.5″ x 4.5″ Loaf Pan
• Large Food Processor (or electric hand mixer)
• Parchment Paper (or non-stick cooking spray)
• Almond Flour
• Green Banana Flour
• Baking Powder
• Ground Ginger

How to Make Paleo Ginger Spiced Blueberry Bread

Step 1: Preheat the oven, prepare the loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper. Prepare the blueberries by warming them on the stovetop or in the microwave and mashing each one with the back of a spoon. Set aside to cool.

Step 2: Combine all of the ingredients together in the bowl of a large food processor. If you are using an electric hand mixer instead, combine all of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl.

Step 3: Pulse on high for about one minute, until a smooth & cohesive batter forms. Transfer to a medium-sized mixing bowl and carefully fold in the prepared blueberries from Step 1.

Step 3: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle with sliced almonds to decorate (any nut or seed will work!) & bake!

Step 4: Let the paleo ginger spiced blueberry bread cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before removing. Slice & enjoy!

Optional: Decorate with a drizzle of melted coconut butter & hemp hearts.
