Easy Blueberry Quick Bread
My go-to baking treats are usually quick bread recipes; I love how easy they are and we love eating them for breakfast. (And lunch…and snack…and dessert.)
This easy blueberry bread is full of fresh blueberries and it has less added sugar. We all enjoyed this moist quick bread; it’s like a blueberry muffin in a loaf pan! This blueberry quick bread recipe bakes up nice, moist and is the PERFECT spring brunch recipe!
Ingredients Needed
- Splenda: you can swap with granulated sugar or brown sugar or any sweetener of choice, but know it may affect the sweetness of the recipe.
- Vegetable oil: the best to keep baked goods moist!
- Lemon juice: this brings out the blueberry flavor but it doesn’t taste like lemon bread, don’t worry! The lemon juice also helps activate the baking soda to make the bread nice and fluffy.
- Buttermilk: you can use store-bought but I recommend to learn how to make buttermilk at home.
- Blueberries: fresh or frozen blueberries, but if using frozen make sure they aren’t too icy – thaw them completely and drain them well.
How to make Blueberry Bread
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8×4″ loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and SPLENDA in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Stir together oil, lemon juice, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla. Stir in dry ingredients just until mixed. Fold in blueberries into the batter.
- Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the loaf is browned and a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Cool at least 10 minutes before removing from the pan and slicing.
- Best served within 24 hours of making.
Expert Tips
- I recommend using fresh blueberries or completely thawed and drained frozen berries (make sure they’re thawed and drained well).
- I’ve only tested the recipe with splenda, but you should be able to use other sweeteners if you want. It will also work with granulated sugar.
- Freeze this bread well wrapped in plastic or freeze slices in sandwich bags for easy grab and go breakfasts!
FAQs
To use real sugar, use 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar in place of the Splenda. Just know it may affect the sweetness of this recipe.
Toss your dried blueberries in some flour before adding them to the flour mixture.
Store bread wrapped well for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Try the toothpick test. If the toothpick comes out clean or with a few crumbs, then your blueberry bread is done.
