How to Make Blueberry Bread

Warm breads out of the oven always have the enticing aroma to bring a family together.  Why not make this homemade blueberry bread recipe with an optional streusel topping to lure the family out of bed in the morning? 

When I bake bread, it usually vanishes in one sitting with my family.  If I bake a couple batches of this blueberry bread, then I can save some for a quick snack or breakfast later on in the week.  I highly recommend making a double batch!  ;-)

Who knows, maybe you'll even get a piece before it disappears!

4 loaves of homemade blueberry bread in the oven

STEP ONE

Preheat the over to 425°F and butter two bread pans.  To do this, take a napkin or a cloth and evenly coat the inside of the pans.

STEP TWO

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt together.

STEP THREE

Add the butter, sugar, and eggs, and mix the ingredients all together until well combined.  Then add the milk and vanilla, and mix again.

STEP FOUR

Fold in the blueberries until just incorporated.

STEP FIVE

If you choose to top your blueberry bread with streusel, which I highly recommend, now is the time to prepare the streusel.  Simply mix together all the streusel ingredients in a small bowl.

STEP SIX

Pour the blueberry bread batter (split evenly) into the butter bread pans, and top with the streusel if desired.  Then bake for 5 minutes at 425°F.

With bread still in the oven, reduce the heat to 375°F and bake for another 45 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the bread.

Freezing The Extra Blueberry Bread Loaves

You can also freeze this bread for up to 3 months if you end up with extra!

We like to slice it before freezing for easy access to a few pieces at a time! Then just place the slices offset into a ziploc baggie and freeze flat!

To Thaw: You can either place the bread in the fridge overnight, on the counter for a few hours, or pop a frozen slice into a preheated oven (350°) for about 5-10 minutes, depending on how warm you want the bread!

MORE RECIPES TO TRY:  When I make bread, I often whip out a few different kinds of loaves at a time and store them for later usage.  Try out this delicious Banana Bread.  You could also go for a simple and healthy Blueberry Muffin Recipe.

    I was planning on making this but do not see the amount of salt in your list of ingredients.

      Hi Barbara! It’s 1/2 tsp and I have updated the recipe. I’m so sorry about that! Thanks for letting me know!

    Tried making this recipe. Noticed the salt amount was missing but was corrected.. You also indicate that this makes 2 loaves, but mention only one loaf pan to prepare. I tried making one loaf and it ended up gluey and much longer to bake. I also wanted to freeze dry the slices for longer storage. Have you tried this?

      Hi Mary, I’m so sorry about this. I had an assistance write up this recipe for me based on my notes and directions – but it seems some of the smaller details got overlooked. I have now gone through to thoroughly check that everything is fully accurate in this recipe!

      All ingredients are there, and the instructions for buttering two pans has been added. It does make 2 loaves, so I’m sure that’s what caused the issues for your loaf.

      Again, I’m so sorry and going forward will make sure to be much more picky when I review content written on my behalf by others. Thank you for letting me know about the issues.

      As for your FD’ing question, I have had other readers cut the bread into strips to FD and it’s worked really well! Serve with cream, ice cream, or eat on its own!

    I made this, and it tasted amazing (even tho’ it fell in the middle so it didn’t look as beautiful as the picture.)

    I am about to make more and be more precise in following your directions, etc…

    I have been told that it is important to weigh certain ingredients (like flour) since measuring by volume can be less than precise, especially with something as finicky as Einkorn. Do you know how many grams in your cups of flour? (Would whole wheat flour weigh more per cup?)

      Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! For flour, I don’t weight my ingredients – however, I can tell you how I generally measure flour. I do the scoop and scrap method. So, loosen the flour, scoop a heaping cup full, then level with a knife.

      I did measure all the ingredients for my “The Art of Sourdough” einkorn baking course and my flour generally came out to 114g per cup. But, since I’ve not measured this recipe, that’s just a guideline.

      I know that’s not definitive, but hopefully it helps!
