All the flavors we love in a blueberry muffin are put into a loaf pan to make delicious Blueberry Muffin Bread made in a little over an hour.

This Blueberry Muffin Bread is “quick” to put together. Whenever we have blueberries in the house, my family is begging me to make this bread. Even my semi-picky six year old loves this bread, and will eat slice after slice until I finally tell him he’s cut off for the day. I prefer to make blueberry muffin bread over traditional blueberry muffins. Especially since blueberry muffins tend to take more time to scoop out into individual wrappers. This recipe just calls for you to pour into a loaf pan and bake!

In this post you will learn the following information.

Ingredients

Ingredients: Milk, vanilla, blueberries, eggs, salt, sugar, flour, oil, baking powder, cooking spray.
  • Egg – Room temperature works best.
  • Milk – I like to use whole but 2% works as well. I have never tested this recipe with an alternative milk like nuts, oats, or rice.
  • Vegetable Oil – No butter in this recipe. You need a little oil
  • All-purpose flour – This is my flour of choice when cooking quick breads. I’ve never tried any other flour for this recipe, but a white wheat might work as a substitution.
  • White granulated sugar – One cup sounds like a lot, but if you want this bread to taste just like a blueberry muffin you will stick with the measurements. I have had readers tell me they cut the sugar down, so it’s definitively possible. Just remember the flavors will taste differently.
  • Brown sugar – Adds a little depth of flavor and molasses like taste to the bread.
  • Baking powder – You need this so the bread will rise.
  • Salt – This will help balance out the sweet.
  • Vanilla extract – A little goes a long way. Use the best extract you can find.
  • Blueberries – Fresh or frozen work for this recipe. If you use frozen make sure you thaw them before baking.

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×5 loaf pan with cooking spray.

FAQs

Can you use frozen blueberries in bread?

If you are cooking with blueberries, you can almost always replace fresh with frozen. Just make sure you defrost the blueberries prior to baking with them. If you do not defrost them the frozen berries will water down the bread.

How do you stop blueberries from sinking?

Always toss your blueberries with flour prior to placing the fruit into the batter. This will help them not to sink and be distributed more evenly.

How do you know when quick bread is done?

To test for doneness of bread, insert a wooden toothpick into the center of the loaf. If the toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs clinging to it, the quick bread is done. Remember to follow the instructions and baking times may vary depending on the oven.

What if you don’t have a KitchenAid Stand Mixer?

I recently had a reader ask me what they should do since they don’t have a KitchenAid Stand Mixer nor a flat paddle. You can mix this batter by hand using a silicone spatula or even a wood spoon. You can also mix the batter with a regular hand-held mixer with beaters. You will want to fold in the blueberries by hand–not mix with the handheld mixer.

Tips & Tricks

Here are a few of my favorite tips and tricks I’ve found helpful when making this recipe.

  • Egg – Whenever I’m baking I like to have my eggs at room temperature.
  • Flour berries – Always toss the blueberries in a little flour. This helps them from sinking to the bottom of the batter.
  • Cool – Let the blueberry loaf completely cool before cutting into it. I know it’s tempting especially after you house smells like amazing blueberry muffins, but you need to let the bread rest.
  • Store – Store the leftover muffin bread in a sealed bag or container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing – If you actually have leftover blueberry breakfast bread and you want to freeze the bread. Simply let it cool to room temperature and freeze within 5 days of baking it. I like to wrap the bread in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer baggie.

Every time I make this blueberry quick bread it’s consumed within 3 days. To be honest, I can easily consume 3-4 slices in one day. It’s so good my mind kept telling me to have just a few more bites. If your looking for a nice sweet baked good to make for breakfast or brunch (or heck dessert) this blueberry quick bread it the ticket!

      Hi Frances, great question! You can mix this batter by hand using a silicone spatula or even a wood spoon. You can also mix the batter with a regular hand-held mixer with beaters. You will want to fold in the blueberries by hand–not mix with the handheld mixer! Hope that helps! 😉

      Hi Stacy, I honestly don’t know–I don’t have a bread machine nor have I ever tested this recipe in a bread machine. If you happen to give it a try, I would love feedback if it worked or not!

    This is an excellent recipe-filled with blueberries! I have made it many times, often with half the sugar. I think because of the generous blueberries, no one has noticed! Thanks.
