Can't wait to try this Single Serve Blueberry Banana Bread #glutenfree #vegan #fitfluential @PancakeWarrior_ Click To TweetAn added benefit is that because this is a single serve portion you can add whatever you’d like maybe add pecans to one and blueberries and blackberries in another; or you get really crazy and you add chocolate and strawberries instead of blueberries. Now you see why I love this recipe, it’s so versatile!
Growing up we always had banana bread, it was the treat that I think I cherished the most. Banana bread was one of my mom’s favorite ways to make us something sweet but not too overwhelming. I usually ate more than I probably should have. I’ve always had a little bit of a problem with portion control, so the single serve blueberry banana bread is my solution to over snacking!
Don’t skip the protein! Protein is an essential part of your diet. It’s the building block of the human body! It helps in the building of everything from your blood to your organs to you hair!
Protein keeps you full longer. This is because protein it takes longer to digest. This also means it takes more calories to digest protein helping you burn calories while you eat – which means I can have seconds! Ok maybe not but you get the point! Don’t skip on the protein!
This recipe can be mixed by hand in a big bowl with a large spoon and some elbow grease. The hardest part of this recipe is not eating the batter while you are mixing it up! Since these are vegan, you don’t have to worry about eating the dough!
So you don’t have to dirty two dishes, always make my flax egg in the large bowl then mix the rest of the ingredients. Make sure you let this sit for 5 minutes before adding the other ingredients though.
Glass ramekins (affiliate link) are great – they are affordable and have so many uses. You can bake this single serve banana bread, or this single serve brownie in them. You can also store freshly cut veggies or berries, since they come with a very tight fitting lid!

I love the single serving idea! and yes the protein is super important! Bring on the blueberries, my fav!
Sounds perfect! Love blueberries in baking applications–like in pancakes!
PS–when you do your coschedule tweet, make sure to put your twitter handle in there!
Single serving = awesome! Where did you find cinnamon protein powder?!
Nicole, its About Time VE Vegan. I think they make a whey version too but I’m loving the vegan!
Yum! These look so easy and simple, yet delicious 🙂 I have all of this except cashew flour .. do you prefer cashew flour over pecan or almond meal?
Emily, almond meal would be fantastic in this too. I like the cashew flour because it’s just a bit lighter in flavor and has a finer texture.
I love Banana bread in general, this one looks really great. I have never had one mixed with other fruit.
I think these look great. Yes, I love my little glass pyrex bowls. Use them a lot!
Banana and peanut butter sounds good together! I don’t often make single servings, but I may need to start! 😀
Yum! I’m definitely going to have to try these. I am ALL about the blueberries in banana bread! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
I love that you made single serving! Cinnamon protein powder sounds yummy added into the mix. I’m doing better about adding protein into my diet. These are a great way to include it.
Love this idea! Single serve and banana bread are my two favourite things. But what is cashew meal?
YUM!! I can not wait to try this out! We do a lot of banana bread but never with blueberries!!
Oddly I am not a fan of bananas but I like banana bread and love blueberries….pinning this for later!!
I love, love, love that this recipe is a single serving. Too often when I make things it feeds more than one and I can only eat so much myself, lol. This sounds like a great post workout snack with all that protein and the potassium. Thanks for sharing 🙂
If Banana Bread wasn’t good enough by itself – add those blueberries and BAM! MOUTH PARTAYY!
This is a great idea and sounds wonderful!
I like the idea of built-in portion control with this! Whenever I make bread (or really, any sort of baked goods), they tend to disappear within the day/a couple days. 😡 This will be perfect!
I pretty much love banana bread ANYTHING! Adding peanut butter is probably one of my favorites but blueberries are amazing as well. This recipe looks so fun and the single servings look really handy. I could use this as an afternoon snack!
Love banana bread! Looks delicious. Thank you for sharing with VMG206 Brag About It

I had no idea that glass ramekins can handle a 375 degree oven! So cool!! I’m still learning about cashew meal, so I can’t wait to try this. What a great workout snack! Thanks!
Michaell yes, they are prefect for baking!! I’m so glad you are excited to try this! Enjoy!
Cinnamon protein powder!?
Rebecca – yes About Time VE Cinnamon Spice – I really love it (and it’s vegan of course)
I would TOTALLY eat these for breakfast! I love banana bread, but have never thought to add blueberries. Great idea, and awesome recipe! Can’t wait to try it out. Think I can just add cinnamon to my vanilla protein powder?
Yes, you can certainly add cinnamon to the vanilla protein powder, probably a teaspoon or two? You can taste it since is’t vegan to make sure you like the cinnamon flavor!! Hope you enjoy it!!
That sounds pretty good! I’ve never thought about baking single servings of bread. I’ll have to try it!
Oh Jaime, it’s such a fun way to get my sweet fix without having a ton of leftovers.
Looks delicious! Blueberries and banna bread sounds like an amazing combo!
Thanks chicka, I really enjoyed it!!
This sounds really good. I LOVE peanut butter and banana 🙂 I never make single servings because my kids always want to steal it when I do. Always. I can’t even hide.
