Ingredients For Vegan, Gluten-Free Blueberry Pineapple Bread
- Crushed Pineapple, Undrained: Adds natural sweetness and moisture to the bread, infusing it with a tropical flavor while keeping it delightfully moist.
- Apple Sauce: Acts as a binder and provides additional moisture, replacing eggs in vegan baking. It also contributes a subtle fruity sweetness that complements the pineapple.
- Coconut Oil: Brings a light tropical aroma and helps to ensure the bread remains tender and moist. It’s a healthier fat alternative that enriches the flavor.
- Vanilla: Enhances the overall sweetness and depth of the bread, adding a classic, warm aroma that pairs beautifully with the fruit components.
- Golden Flaxseeds, Ground: Used as an egg substitute, ground flaxseeds add omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. When mixed with water, they help bind the ingredients, adding to the bread’s structure.
- Brown Rice Flour: Provides the gluten-free base, offering a mild, nutty flavor and a hearty texture that complements the softness of the other ingredients.
- Almond Flour: Adds richness and a slightly sweet, nutty flavor, while also contributing to a moist, tender crumb.
- Cane Sugar: Sweetens the bread naturally, enhancing the flavors of the pineapple and blueberries without overpowering them.
- Baking Powder: A leavening agent that helps the bread rise and become light and fluffy.
- Salt: Balances the sweetness of the fruit and sugar, sharpening the overall flavor profile.
- Blueberries: Offer bursts of sweet-tart flavor and antioxidant benefits, adding beautiful pops of color and texture throughout the bread.
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.

Hi could you substitute sugar for honey
Melanie I only tried it with sugar, if you do and it works, can you please let us know if it worked.
Any suggestions on a substatute for powdered sugar? Or cane sugar?
Michelle, I just made this bread again and I was wondering if cutting back on the sugar would alter the finished product. I did reduce the 1 cup amount to 3/4 cup but do you think it could be reduced to 2/3 cup successfully? We love this recipe but my husband needs to watch his sugar intake. Thank you for always respondingredients so quickly.
Hello Catherine, I haven’t tried it with less sugar but it sounds like it will be fine you can add an extra tablespoon of ground flax seed if you like though.
Michelle, This bread was absolutely delicious !!!!!! And I loved your broccoli /rice/quinoa recipe. Thank you for some wonderful recipe alternates for my food allergies.
