Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional for topping)
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 bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, toss the fresh blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat. This helps prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the loaf.
Gently fold the floured blueberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the blueberry bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust the cooled blueberry bread with powdered sugar before serving, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
