BLUEBERRY LOAF WITH MATCHA LOVE GLAZE
For the loaf
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp sea salt
½ cup organic butter, softened
1 cup organic sugar
1 to 2 organic eggs
¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups blueberries
For the Matcha Love Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp Matcha Love powder
1 to 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment.
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in almond milk and vanilla.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Toss blueberries with 1 tbsp flour, then fold them into the batter. Pour into the loaf pan and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Whisk powdered sugar, Matcha Love powder, and almond milk until glossy and pourable. Drizzle over the cooled loaf, let it set, slice, and enjoy.
