Ingredients:

• 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
• 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 2/3 cup of milk
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
• 1 egg
• 2 passion fruits
• White chocolate, for drizzling

Method:

1. Preheat the oven and prepare the mold:
   • Preheat your oven to 170°C (338°F). Butter and line a 1 liter cake tin with baking paper.

2. Prepare the blueberries:
   • Place blueberries in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Let them soften, then mash them sporadically with a fork to create some texture. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Mix the ingredients :
   • In a bowl, mix the self-rising flour, almond flour and baking powder. In another bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, milk, vanilla essence and egg.
   • Mix wet and dry ingredients. Collect the passion fruit pulp and incorporate it into the dough.
4. Assemble the bread:
   • Pour half of the bread batter into the prepared pan. Add half of the blueberry puree to the dough and use a spatula to stir it lightly to create a marbled effect.
   • Pour the rest of the batter on top, followed by the rest of the blueberries.
5. Cook:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the bread is golden and risen.
6. Cool and decorate:
   • Let the bread cool before drizzling it with melted white chocolate. Add fresh blueberries or passion fruit seeds if desired for decoration.

Enjoy this delicious Blueberry Passion Fruit Bread, a perfect treat that combines seasonal fruit with a decadent twist, ideal for any occasion that calls for a fresh, flavorful dessert.
