How do you make blueberry bread?
Gather your ingredients:
Blueberry bread is a delightful treat made with fresh or frozen blueberries, flour, sugar, butter, and eggs.
Fresh blueberries yield the best flavor and texture, but frozen blueberries work well too. If using frozen, don’t thaw them beforehand.
To make it, cream the butter and sugar, add eggs and vanilla, then combine with dry ingredients and sour cream.
Gently fold in the blueberries.
How long do you bake blueberry bread?
Bake blueberry bread for a baking time of 60-80 minutes or until toothpick insert into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
If you’d like you can brush the top of the bread with some melted butter.
Before slicing and serving with a thin knife, the bread cools on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes.
Keep the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate it for up to a week. You can also freeze slices for longer storage.

To prevent blueberries from sinking in blueberry bread, toss them in flour before adding to the batter and use a thicker batter. You can also add half the batter first, then layer the blueberries, or chill the blueberries beforehand for better results.
Blueberry bread may turn out dry due to overmixing, incorrect oven temperatures, too much flour, insufficient liquid, overbaking, or using old ingredients. To avoid dryness, measure ingredients accurately, check for doneness early, and consider adding moisture-rich ingredients like yogurt or sour cream.

Adding bananas to the batter before the blueberries provided a wonderful flavor between the blueberries. Tastes even better on the second day.

I followed your recipe and the results were perfect. I made it again with a crumble topping and it was even better. Now I’d like to make it with lemon zest and juice as you mention. Do I reduce the milk amount by 1/3 cup so the liquid portion remains the same?
