Ingredients for Blueberry Bread

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup milk
• 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 tablespoon flour for coating blueberries

How to Make Blueberry Bread

Step One

The first thing you need to do is preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy release.

Step Two

Now, take a medium-sized bowl and mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This keeps the dry ingredients well-combined and the air clear. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mix.

Step Three

Slowly add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk. This helps keep the batter smooth and free of lumps. Don’t overmix. Stir in the blueberries with a tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf. Gently fold them into the batter, then pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, leveling the surface with a spatula.

Step Four

Now, bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Finally, let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Tips for Making the Best Blueberry Bread

Always coat blueberries with flour before adding them to the batter to keep them evenly spread.

If using frozen blueberries, add them straight from the freezer—do not thaw.

Do not overmix the batter; this keeps the bread soft and fluffy.

For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
