I love quick breads for breakfast. They make the perfect breakfast on the go, and this blueberry bread doesn’t disappoint. I make breads often so that I can slice them for breakfast for the kids in the morning. Such an easy breakfast! Just add milk or a glass of orange juice!
I also love to take a slice to work with me. I never eat breakfast at home, but want something to have in the morning. A fresh slice of fruity bread is the perfect thing to go with my warm cup of coffee while I answer email.
I also love to send slices in the kid’s lunches. It’s almost like a dessert to them with their lunch!
This is a versatile blueberry bread recipe that makes two loaves — so you can give one to a friend or freeze one for later.

- Wrap the blueberry bread in wax or parchment paper, covering all sides.

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
