- 2 tbsp potato starch (14g)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F (180C). Grease or line a 3.5×7 inch baking tin with parchment paper.

Then add in the oat flour, almond flour, potato starch, baking soda and salt, and whisk until just combined. Fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, be sure to take it out right before folding them and toss them in 1/2-1 tbsp potato starch.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until top is golden and toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Mine was perfect at 37 minutes.
- Cool loaf for no more than 5 minutes in the pan. Then carefully remove and transfer to a wire rack, allowing for it completely cool. Slice, serve and enjoy!
Notes
- *This cake is not overly sweet. If you prefer a sweeter cake, add 2-3 tbsp of any dry granulated sugar or drizzle with a quick glaze on top by combining 1/2 cup powdered vegan sugar and 2-3 tbsp of lemon juice. Start with 2 tbsp and add 1 tsp at a time until desired consistency.
