It makes a delicious and healthy sweet snack and the best easy breakfast. Slice up your gluten-free hazelnut and blueberry bread and have delicious brekky for the working week. Serve with fresh fruit and yoghurt… mmm the stuff of brekky dreams right there!
This is an old recipe from our Get Merry recipe book. In the book, we called it blueberry and yoghurt bread. Now the thing is… we simply served it with yoghurt and then we chose a photo without yoghurt. Really, the name was 100% confusing and this is why we’ve changed it (haha).
We like to remind you that this recipe is not like your regular fruit loaf. It won’t rise and it is definitely dense. But… it’s still yum and only filled with good stuff!
If you make the recipe let us know, send us a pic on Instagram! We love seeing them!
Always merrymaking,
Emma + Carla
