Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and the spice mix. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the brown sugar, mashed bananas, and eggs until well combined. Add the canola oil and soy milk, and continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
Gradually add the sifted flour and spice mix into the wet mixture, gently folding until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the bread dense.
Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick or skewer inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, remove it from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the dairy-free banana bread and enjoy! It's delicious on its own or with a spread of non-dairy butter or a drizzle of honey.
