Blueberry Bread requires all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, lemon zest (optional), and fresh or frozen blueberries. These simple pantry staples combine to create a moist, tender loaf studded with juicy berries.
Learn how to cook Blueberry Bread Recipe by preheating your oven to 175°C, mixing dry ingredients separately from creamed butter and sugar, then combining both with eggs, milk and vanilla. Coat blueberries in flour before gently folding into the batter. Bake in a lined loaf tin for about an hour until a skewer comes out clean, then cool completely before slicing.
Yes, frozen blueberries work perfectly in this recipe! Use them straight from the freezer without thawing to prevent colour bleeding. The flour coating step is especially important with frozen berries to absorb excess moisture. Baking time might need to be extended by 5-10 minutes.
Sinking in the middle typically happens if the bread is underbaked, the oven temperature is too high, or you've overmixed the batter. Ensure you're using fresh baking powder, don't open the oven door during the first 30 minutes, and mix just until ingredients are combined.
This versatile blueberry loaf welcomes many variations! Try adding 100g chopped nuts, substitute some flour with wholemeal, swap blueberries for raspberries or blackberries, add a streusel topping, or make a lemon glaze. For extra moisture, you could include 60g of Greek yoghurt or sour cream.
