Ingredients for Blueberry Bread
- Sugar – Granulated sugar adds sweetness and also gives this bread just the right texture.
- Eggs– Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and a fluffier texture. You can put them in warm water to quickly bring them to temperature.
- Light Cream – I use half and half in this recipe. You substitute a mixture of half milk and half heavy cream.
- Lemon Juice – Don’t skip the lemon juice, it adds to the rise of this bread. Fresh lemon juice or bottled are both ideal.
- Almond Extract – This is added for flavor, substitute with vanilla extract if needed.
- All-Purpose Flour – Use fresh flour and spoon and level it instead of scooping directly with a measuring cup to avoid over-packing.
- Baking Powder – Freshness ensures a good rise. Drop a bit in warm water, and if it fizzes, it’s still good!
- Blueberries –Frozen or fresh blueberries work in this recipe. If using frozen, there is no need to thaw.

Tips for the Best Blueberry Bread
- Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Frozen blueberries don’t need to be thawed but might need a few extra minutes of baking time.
- Toss the berries with a bit of flour to keep them suspended in the bread as it bakes!
- Don’t overmix the batter or you’ll have a dense bread.
- Lemon zest is a tasty addition to this blueberry loaf; if adding zest, skip the almond extract.

Blueberry Bread
Enjoy this delish blueberry bread recipe for a breakfast treat, snack, or dessert!
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease and flour an 8×4 loaf pan.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar, then incorporate the eggs and cream. Stir in the lemon juice and almond extract until well blended.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.
-
Set aside 2 tablespoons of blueberries for topping the bread. Fold in the remaining blueberries. (If they are very juicy, they can be tossed in a tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sticking.)
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the reserved blueberries over the top.
-
Bake the bread for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the bread from the oven then remove from the pan and place it on a cooling rack.
-
Mix together the powdered sugar and milk to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle over the loaf once it’s cool enough to handle.
Cool, cover with plastic wrap and aluminum foil (either individual slices or the whole loaf), and freeze for up to 6 months.
