ingredients

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

instructions
prepare and make the bread
- preheat your toaster oven to 375°F.
- in a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- in a separate bowl, whisk together the non-dairy milk and lemon juice until it becomes slightly thick and curdled.
- add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- transfer the dough to a small baking dish that fits in your toaster oven.
- bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
while the bread bakes, make the compote
- in a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract (if using), and salt.
- cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries have broken down and the mixture has thickened slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
- remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
serve and enjoy
- to serve, slice your homemade bread and top with a spoonful of the blueberry compote. you can also add some vegan yogurt or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for some extra flavor and texture.
notes
if you don't have non-dairy milk, you can use water as a substitute. keep in mind that using water will result in a slightly less rich and flavorful bread, but it will still be tasty and satisfying.
