Description
A straightforward recipe for moist blueberry bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
- For a slightly crisp top, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of coarse sugar over the batter before baking.
