  3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, oat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Mixing

  2. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries with a spatula.

  2. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Let the bread cool fully in the pan before slicing.

Notes

For best results, use overripe bananas, mix gently, and avoid cutting into the bread while it’s still warm.
