Cinnamon, Polenta and Blueberry Loaf

Ingredients

 
  1. Canola oil cooking spray
  2. 1 cup (120g) maize flour, sifted
  3. 4 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
  4. 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  5. 1 1/2 cups (260g) fine polenta (cornmeal)
  6. 1/2 cup (100g) firmly packed brown sugar
  7. 1 1/4 cups (310ml) soy milk
  8. 150g good quality milk-free polyunsaturated or monounsaturated margarine, melted and cooled
  9. 1 egg, lightly whisked
  10. 2 egg whites
  11. 200g fresh or thawed frozen blueberries

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Spray a 10x21cm loaf pan with canola oil to lightly grease, and line the base and two long sides with one piece of non-stick baking paper.

Sift the maize flour, baking powder and cinnamon into a large bowl.

Stir in the polenta and sugar and make a well in the centre.

Use a fork to whisk together the soy milk, margarine, egg and egg whites in a medium-sized bowl until combined.

Stir in the blueberries.

Add to the dry ingredients and stir with a large metal spoon until just combined.

Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Stand in pan for 5 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool.

Serve cut into slices.
