Blueberry Bread Recipe
Description
The Blueberry Bread recipe starts with creamed butter and sugar, eggs, and vanilla for a tender crumb. Sifted flour with baking powder and salt is alternated with milk to create a balanced batter. Crushed blueberries are folded into the mix for evenly distributed fruit flavor along with whole berries to create juicy pockets during baking. A coarse sugar topping provides a slightly crunchy sweet crust.
Baked in a loaf pan at 375°F for just over an hour, the bread develops a golden exterior and a soft interior with visible blueberries throughout. Cooling prevents crumbling when slicing. Optionally, a vanilla glaze made from butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream can be drizzled over warm bread to add sweetness and moisture.
This bread works well as a breakfast treat or afternoon snack paired with tea or coffee. It slices easily and can be stored wrapped to maintain freshness.
