Ingredients
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup vegetable oil or coconut oil
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- zest from 1 lemon
- 1 cup walnuts chopped
- 1 ½ cups blueberries fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a large loaf pan or 4 mini loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, sour cream, milk, vanilla, and oil until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, old-fashioned oats, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and lemon zest.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined and a thick batter forms.
- Gently fold the walnuts and blueberries into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan, or divide evenly between mini loaf pans. Sprinkle a few extra oats on top.
- Bake for about 45 minutes for a large loaf or 35 minutes for mini loaves, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes before removing, slicing, and serving.
Notes
- Frozen blueberries: Add them directly to the batter without thawing to prevent purple streaks.
- Prevent sinking: Toss blueberries lightly in flour before folding into the batter.
- Oats: Old-fashioned oats give the best texture for this blueberry oatmeal bread.
- Storage: Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze slices for up to 3 months.
- Muffin option: Divide batter into a lined muffin pan and bake for 18-22 minutes.
