Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
- ¼ cup vegetable oil (60mL)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled (56g)
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk (120mL)
- 1¼ cups blueberries fresh or frozen (180g)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8½x4½-inch loaf pan with butter or baking spray. (You can also line it with parchment paper.)
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, melted and cooled butter, egg, and vanilla until smooth and lightened in color. Whisk in the milk until fully combined.
- Place the blueberries in a medium mixing bowl. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of the flour mixture over the blueberries. Gently toss to combine.
- Pour the milk mixture into the remaining flour mixture and stir together with a spatula until almost fully combined and only a few streaks of dry flour remain. Gently but quickly fold the blueberry mixture into the batter. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 65 to 75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes then turn it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
- Don’t overmix. Overworked flour gets glutinous, resulting in tough or dense bread. Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined and a few streaks of flour remain before finishing by stirring in the blueberries.
- Prevent the bread from over-browning. If the bread browns too quickly, loosely tent it with aluminum foil after 40 minutes of baking.
- Bake in a 9x5-inch pan. If desired, you can make this easy blueberry bread recipe in a slightly larger pan. Since there is more surface area, the loaf may bake more quickly, in 55-65 minutes.
