Ingredients

Bread Ingredients

  • 2 cups + 2 tbsp all purpose flour, divided
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • ¼ cup 2% or whole milk
  • 2 cups blueberries

Glaze Ingredients

  • ½ cup blueberries
  • cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl, mix 2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and ½ tsp salt together. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk your 1 egg and ¾ cup granulated sugar together. Then, whisk in ½ cup buttermilk, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 2 tsp vanilla.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir to combine. Do not overmix.
  • Once the mixture is completely smooth, add in ¼ cup 2% or whole milk. Whisk again to combine.
  • Toss your 2 cups blueberries with 2 tbsp of flour. Pour the blueberries into the batter and fold them in carefully.
  • Grease a 9 x 5 glass baking pan. Pour the batter into the pan and cook for 55-65 minutes. If at any time, it begins to brown too much, cover it with aluminum foil. To check to see if your bread is done, insert a toothpick into the middle. If the toothpick comes out clean or an internal thermometer reads 200 degrees Fahrenheit, your bread is ready.
  • Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool.
  • In the meantime, make the glaze. Place ½ cup blueberries in a blender and blend until pureed. Then, in a small bowl, combine 1½ cups powdered sugar with 1 tbsp butter and blueberries. Whisk until smooth.
  • When the bread is cool, pour the glaze over the blueberry bread. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Recipe copyright The Domestic Spoon. For educational or personal use only.
  • Tossing the blueberries in flour before adding them to the batter helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread dense instead of soft and tender.
  • Let the bread cool completely before adding the glaze so it doesn’t melt and run off the loaf.
  • If you find that your loaf is turning brown too quickly while baking, cover the top lightly with foil.
