For many years I have been meaning to add a vegan and gluten-free version of my very popular Pina Colada Bread with Blueberries. The time has finally come and I had the opportunity today to do it, the recipe used regular flour but I kept it because of it being a reader's favorite.
I had a male reader who left me a comment on Facebook saying he makes it very often for his family. I thought that was very sweet of him wanting to make the best blueberry bread ever with the addition of pineapple for a tropical taste.
How To Make Blueberry Pineapple Bread?
To make the bread I used a combination of brown rice flour and almond flour which you can purchase from Bob's Red Mills. I used organic cane sugar but coconut sugar can be substituted.
For the blueberries fresh or frozen is fine. I made my own applesauce by processing peeled chopped apples and apple juice.
For the pineapple glaze, I processed organic cane sugar in a high-speed blender until powdery then I mix the powdered sugar with pineapple juice.
