I also love to send slices in the kid’s lunches. It’s almost like a dessert to them with their lunch!

How to Make Blueberry Bread
You just need a few ingredients to make this blueberry bread from scratch. And, I bet you have all, or most of them in your pantry.
Combine the dry ingredients and whisk together. Mix the wet ingredients in a separate bowl, then slowly incorporate the dry into the wet mixture.
Save the blueberries for last. Add them into the combined batter, then gently fold them into the batter. Be gentle with the blueberries, not stirring too much.
Once the mixtures are combine, split into two greased loaf pans and pop into the pre-heated oven.
If you want, you can sprinkle some white sugar on top of the loaves. The sugar will crystalize when baked.
This makes a very moist bread. The blueberries burst open and add the perfect flavor and sweetness.
The hardest part about this blueberry bread recipe is waiting for it to bake so you can have a slice!

I made this bread and it was too thick so I added some milk but after having to mix it so much to get it incorporated the bread is prob going to be tough. There has to be something wrong with this recipe to not have had any liquid in it if this is wasted I’m going to be so mad cause I wasted all my blueberries plus the rest of the ingredients. This is the blueberry bread recipe from you site
