Blueberry Morning Delight
These vegan breakfast sandwiches transform classic morning comfort into plant based perfection with tender blueberry bread embracing savory fillings. I craft them using wholesome ingredients like fresh berries and dairy free alternatives that create incredible texture. They reheat beautifully for busy mornings and make weekend brunches feel special.
I discovered the magic of breakfast bread sandwiches during my travels through rural England, where morning meals celebrate both sweet and savory elements. The contrast of fruity bread against protein rich fillings creates a symphony of textures that feels indulgent yet nourishing. I often serve these alongside my avocado breakfast bowl for guests who appreciate varied breakfast options. During autumn months, I pair them with pumpkin patch deviled eggs for a seasonal brunch spread that delights everyone at the table.

- Texture Harmony: Soft bread contrasts with crisp fillings for perfect bite sensation.
- Make Ahead Magic: Components prepare separately for effortless morning assembly.

Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
Add-ins
- 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and generously grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- Whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in 2 eggs one at a time, followed by 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, until fully incorporated into the butter mixture.
- Alternately add the dry ingredients and 1 cup buttermilk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed just until the batter comes together without overmixing.
- Gently fold 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries into the batter using a spatula until they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps prevent it from becoming soggy.
Notes
Creative Sandwich Variations

- Everything Bagel Style: Press bread slices in everything seasoning before assembling.
My Pro Tips for Sandwich Success
- Even Slicing: Use serrated knife with gentle sawing motion for clean bread slices.
- Toast Lightly: Briefly toast bread rounds to prevent sogginess from fillings.
- Warm Components: Heat patties and cheese separately for optimal melt texture.
- Layer Strategically: Spread mayo between layers rather than directly on bread.
Storing and Reheating Your Sandwiches
- Store: Keep assembled sandwiches in airtight container for up to 3 days refrigerated.
- Freeze: Wrap individually in parchment and freeze for up to 2 months maximum.
- Reheat: Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes from frozen or 8 minutes from refrigerated.
- Make Ahead Tip: Bake bread up to 3 days early and slice when completely cooled.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
Yes, but freeze them solid first and toss with flour to prevent bleeding. Expect slightly more moisture in the final bread texture.
What’s the best egg substitute for this bread?
I prefer flax eggs for their binding properties, but commercial egg replacer works well too. Avoid applesauce as it makes the bread too dense.
Can I make these sandwiches gluten free?
Absolutely. Use 1:1 gluten free flour blend and add 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum. The texture will be slightly more delicate but equally delicious.
How do I prevent the bread from crumbling?
Ensure proper cooling before slicing and use a sharp serrated knife. Letting the bread rest overnight improves slicing texture significantly.
