The Best Blueberry Bread

Recipe Description

We’ve all heard of banana bread, but my favorite recipe at the moment is Blueberry Bread. This recipe is simply bursting with flavor and juiciness from the blueberries. I’ve written this recipe with an optional glaze, and while the bread is delicious as it is, I always add the glaze as it raises this blueberry bread from tasty to mind-blowing!

To make this delicious loaf, start by mixing sugar, flour, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, milk and oil. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just moist and add the magic ingredient: blueberries. Bake for an hour and as it cooks, make a glaze by mixing butter, sugar, vanilla and cream. If you decide not to use a glaze, simply sprinkle sugar on top before you put it in the oven.

To make Blueberry Bread, you will need the following ingredients:
