This is the Best Blueberry Bread Recipe! Not only is it moist and easy to make in just one bowl. It’s full of flavor, bursting with blueberries!
3pm hits and I just get such a hankering for a sweet treat and some coffee or tea. There’s nothing better than a homemade baked good am I right?
This Blueberry Bread is our current obsession. You can make it with fresh or frozen berries, your choice.
The best thing about breads like this Blueberry Bread recipe is that they can easily become a delicious breakfast or a quick snack. Some of my favorite types of bread include Banana, Cranberry Orange Bread, and this Apple Breakfast Loaf.
This blueberry bread is SO similar to my blueberry muffin recipe. I love how easily muffins can become bread and vice versa! Oh and I also love that you can make this bread right in one bowl! No fancy equipment needed either.
Tasty variations of my Blueberry Bread Recipe:
- Add 2 tbsp lemon zest and 1/3 cup lemon juice to make lemon blueberry
- Mash 2 large, ripe bananas and mix them in to make banana blueberry
- Add 1/2 cup strawberries to make blueberry strawberry
A Note on The Best Blueberry Bread Recipe Ingredients
Butter – Room temperature and softened, this will make your bread cake like! Cut butter into cubes, add to bowl with flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives used scissor-fashion, cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles fine crumbs.
Eggs – Use room temperature eggs to help the batter mix more evenly.
Milk – You can thank milk for the moist texture in this bread!
Blueberries – Gently fold in blueberries until evenly dispersed. This is the very last step!
A note on the debate of fresh vs. frozen blueberries:
Of course, fresh blueberries are always best. But, man blueberry season is short!!! At least here in New Jersey it is! When you use frozen blueberries, they sort of melt in your recipe as they bake. Fresh blueberries stay more intact throughout baking and will have more of a burst when you take a bite.
Be sure to grease your loaf pan before pouring your blueberry bread batter in. Bake 60-80 minutes or until toothpick insert into the center comes out clean.
