Description
A moist and flavorful bread studded with juicy blueberries, perfect for breakfast or as a snack.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated, then mix in the vanilla extract.
Alternate Dry Ingredients and Milk: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent them from bleeding into the bread.
- Tossing blueberries in a tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter can help prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
