    Blueberry Bread

    This flavorful Blueberry Bread is bursting with juicy blueberries and makes a tasty breakfast, snack, or evening treat!

    moist, flavorful quick bread with blueberries throughout

    My family loves to enjoy banana bread in the morning with their breakfast. Yesterday, I looked through my freezer thinking I had a few frozen bananas, but realized I used them up already.

    I had told my son that he could help me make some bread, but once I realized I had no bananas, I decided to look around for what I did have.

    I ended up coming across our bag of frozen blueberries. So, our plan to make banana bread quickly changed to blueberry bread.

    With juicy blueberries throughout, this Blueberry Bread is packed with flavor and freezes perfectly!

    When my family lived in Seattle, we would all venture out to the local farm to go blueberry picking. It would take no time and we would end up with several pounds of fresh berries. Sometimes we made muffins, other times it was cobbler, but we always used those up!

    Now that we live in Houston, blueberry picking isnt as popular and there aren’t as many places to get them, so I tend to stick to my local grocery store. Not as fresh and fun, but still just as tasty!

    My son was put in charge of adding the ingredients as I handed them to him and let me tell you, what a great helper he was! For four years old, he is definitely a cook/baker in the making.

    Once this was baked and cooled, we cut ourselves each a piece and decided that it was a new favorite! We ended up having this after dinner for our “dessert” and everyone loved it.

    My oldest son had two slices and asked for more the next morning with breakfast. We warmed this up slightly in the microwave and spread a bit of butter on it. End result was pure perfection!

    Not only is this Blueberry Bread incredibly simple to make, but there aren’t very many ingredients, so it is something you may even be able to whip up with what you have on hand already!!

      My husband is diabetic so can I substitute some of the ingredients in your recipes to accommodate his needs?

    10. Kristin

      June 15, 2015 at 7:48 am

      It just depends on what you are wanting to substitute. I would say yes though, because most substitutions work great in this 🙂

      I was thinking it might also make a great french toast too>

    12. Kristin

      July 16, 2015 at 7:45 am

      Oh definitely! Let me know if you try that and how it turns out! Yum!!

      Hi Kristen! I made this today,but a had a couple of bananas that were getting pretty ripe, so I mashed those in as well. it was really good and moist! Thanks for sharing!

    14. Kristin

      February 3, 2016 at 7:56 am

      That is a great idea adding in the banana. I will have to remember that for next time! Thanks!

      I used a mini muffin pan for these(i had a little batter left over). i didnt have enough blueberries so i filed the gap with strawberries (1/2 cup). i also added a tsp of vanilla. turned out great!! i think ill use this a a base for more concoctions, I like to experiment. 🙂

    16. Kristin

      April 27, 2016 at 10:08 am

      Great additions, I am so glad you enjoyed this! Be sure to let me know what else you try!

      Is suppost to fall or shrink down after cooling HELP followed the recipe wondering if it needs more cook time suggestions ?? Still good

    18. Kristin

      August 3, 2016 at 6:50 am

      Hmmmm, mine has never done that. Did you use fresh baking powder? Make sure that is fresh as I have made other foods before using old baking powder and they didn’t turn out well. Also, it could be the baking time as each oven varies, maybe try extending it a few minutes? Hope the next batch is great!!

      January 26, 2017 at 11:24 am

      Do you thaw the blueberries first?

    20. Kristin

      January 27, 2017 at 6:24 am

      Take them out of the freezer before making the bread, and as you are combining ingredients, they will thaw enough to be able to pop right in. No need to thaw beforehand! Enjoy!!

    21. Sue

      January 28, 2017 at 4:32 pm

      Hi, my heart is broken as the love of my life has passed away, and I came across your recipe and am going to make, as it looks easy and comforting. Just want to say thanks for posting.

    22. Kristin

      February 1, 2017 at 7:20 pm

      Oh I am so sorry to hear that Sue! Sending hugs and prayers your way! I hope you enjoy the bread!

      Looks like a great recipe, but for newbies to the bread world… softened butter? Melted…straight from the fridge?

      Cook 70 mins (or about) and if you are using larger pan, not as long? Isn’t it usually the opposite? (I am seriously stumped).

      And cook around 70 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean (except for blueberry markings)??

    24. Kristin

      March 26, 2018 at 6:27 pm

      Oops, sorry for the confusion! Softened butter usually means take the stick out (or however much you need) and allow it to get to room temperature on the counter. I usually put mine on the counter 30-45 minutes before I start baking and once I am ready to use it, its good to go!

      Sorry for the wording regarding 70 minutes, it has been corrected. 70 minutes if using large pan, not as long if using smaller pans.

      Yes, cook around 70 minutes, every oven is different though, so typically stick a toothpick into a few spots and if it comes out clean (minus blueberry) and not full of batter, you are good to go!!

      Enjoy!

      How long do I bake for using muffin pan

    30. Kristin

      June 24, 2018 at 11:17 am

      Start with about 20-25 minutes and then keep an eye on the muffins from that point!

      July 22, 2018 at 3:21 pm

      Recipe looks awesome….just wondering about salt? Did you use any? If so how much?

    32. Kristin

      July 23, 2018 at 6:35 am

      Nope, I don’t use any salt. I have used salted butter before and it was great, however, I have also used margarine and unsalted, and it was just as tasty. Enjoy!!

    33. Sarah

      July 29, 2018 at 3:46 pm

      This is in the oven baking right now. Cant wait to try a slice! Thank you for the recipe

    34. Kristin

      July 31, 2018 at 5:34 am

      How did it turn out?? Hope you enjoyed!

    35. Debbie

      August 23, 2018 at 7:33 pm

      If the blueberries are frozen, do I need to thaw them first?

    36. Kristin

      August 24, 2018 at 2:06 pm

      Personally, I don’t because by the time I am ready to use them, they are semi thawed. Enjoy!

      how many mini loaf do you get out of this

    38. Kristin

      October 15, 2018 at 11:11 am

      About 4-5 mini loaves depending how high you fill it!

    39. Paula

      December 30, 2018 at 1:17 pm

      How many mini loaf pans?

    40. Kristin

      January 1, 2019 at 2:42 pm

      About 4 mini loaves 🙂

      This bread is delicious. Added a touch of vanilla and had to get rid of all blueberries so I added about 2 cups. Very lite and moist. Will definitely make again. Thanks for the recipe.

    42. Kristin

      July 27, 2019 at 10:34 am

      Yea! Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Great idea on adding a bit of vanilla! Yum!

      All purpose flour?

    44. Kristin

      September 8, 2019 at 10:52 am

      Yep! All purpose! Enjoy!

    45. Inna

      October 17, 2019 at 10:27 pm

      Will whole wheat flour work?

    46. Kristin

      October 18, 2019 at 6:46 am

      Use 3/4 cup of whole wheat flour to completely replace 1 cup of white flour. Whole wheat flour is denser and heavier than regular white flour. Hope that helps!

      November 16, 2019 at 4:32 pm

      Do you flour the blueberries before you add them to keep them from falling to the bottom?

    48. Kristin

      November 17, 2019 at 8:12 am

      I hadn’t in the past, but recently started doing so and it works great! You don’t “have” to, but its a great idea!

      Anyone try to make this Vegan style? Any success?

    50. Kristin

      Hmmmm, never tried it but be sure to let me know what you think if you do!

    51. Doris

      January 12, 2020 at 8:13 am

      Do l need to toss the berries in flour first to keep them from sinking to the bottom of the pan?.Thevrecipe sounds terrific!.im 61 and have never made blueberry anything yet..can’t wait to try making it!

    52. Kristin

      January 12, 2020 at 10:52 am

      I typically like to toss the berries in about 1 tbsp. flour prior to adding them into the batter, but its not required! More preference than anything! Hope you enjoy!! Keep me posted how it turns out!

    59. Patricia

      September 27, 2020 at 10:03 pm

      I guess adding vanilla is the secret. I just made this and think it tastes terrible. Sorry, but will not make it again.

      September 28, 2020 at 7:23 am

      Oh no! Such a bummer! What is wrong with the flavor if you don’t mind me asking?!
