🛒 What You’ll Need

For the Blueberry Bread:

• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tsp vinegar)

For an Optional Crumb Topping:

👩‍🍳 Pro Tips for the Best Blueberry Bread

1. Toss blueberries in flour – This prevents them from sinking to the bottom.
2. Use buttermilk for extra moisture – It makes the bread soft and tender.
3. Don’t overmix the batter – This keeps the bread fluffy and prevents it from becoming dense.
4. Fresh or frozen blueberries? – Both work! If using frozen, do not thaw them before adding.
5. Add a crumb topping – For extra sweetness and crunch, sprinkle a crumb topping before baking.

🔄 Substitutions & Variations

• Gluten-Free? – Use 1:1 gluten-free flour.
• Dairy-Free? – Swap butter for coconut oil and buttermilk for almond milk + vinegar.
• Lemon Blueberry Bread? – Add 1 tbsp lemon zest and a lemon glaze on top.
• Nutty Twist? – Add ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter.
