Blueberry Bread Ingredients

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 TBSP sugar (to sprinkle on top of loaf before baking)
• 1 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw)

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar:
   • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Wet Ingredients:
   • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
   • Stir in the sour cream or Greek yogurt and milk until fully incorporated.
5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients:
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
   • Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Bake:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle sugar on top of batter.
   • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
   • If the top begins to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
7. Cool:
   • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving Suggestions and Storage

• Serving: Enjoy your blueberry bread warm or at room temperature. It’s delicious on its own or with a spread of butter or cream cheese.
• Storage: Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze slices individually wrapped for up to 2 months.
