Add flax egg (combine 1Tbsp of ground flax seeds mixed with 2tbsp of water), then mix together. (You can also choose to use an egg replacer or 1 egg).
Step 7
In a separate medium bowl, add flour, baking powder, salt and lemon zest and mix together.
Step 8
Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and gently mix without over-mixing. Then add the blended blueberries and about 1tbsp of the blueberry jam and gently mix it all together.

Pour the batter into the loaf pan and then add the rest of the blueberry compote and fresh blueberries on top of the loaf for garnish.
Step 10
Bake in the oven for 50-55minutes or until its toothpick dry.
