making quick bread

Can I make this lemon blueberry bread vegan?

A recipe like this would be easy to veganize. More and more people are trying to cut dairy these days. I like to make a good bit of our desserts and meals dairy-free. There are so many healthier alternatives to dairy. Conventional dairy or non-organic dairy is full of harmful chemicals. Using organic dairy or switching to good quality plant-based products is a great choice for your health.

To make this recipe vegan you can easily switch butter to plant-based butter or coconut oil. I use coconut oil when I make desserts vegan. When I use coconut oil I like to cut the amount down a bit say from 4 tablespoons to 3 and add a touch more salt. Another thing you can easily sub is the milk for plant milk like coconut or almond. We mainly use coconut in our house. For desserts, I like to use chia eggs in place of regular eggs and feel they work really well. Making these changes will turn this delicious lemon blueberry bread into a vegan dessert!
