Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups milk
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 0.5 cups chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense bread.
In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the bread as it bakes.
Gently fold the blueberries and chopped nuts into the batter until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices of blueberry nut bread plain or with butter, and enjoy!
