BLUEBERRY BREAD
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 tbsp lemon zest approx 1 large lemon
- 1 ¾ cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 ½ cups blueberries
- 1 tbsp flour
Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and line a 9x5" loaf pan with parchment paper
Start by making your crumble topping. In a small bowl, mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add in your melted butter, stirring until crumbles form. Place in the fridge to chill while you make the batter
In a medium bowl, add both sugars and lemon zest and give a quick mix. Add in flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing again.
Add in one tablespoon of your softened butter at a time, mixing in between each addition. If using a stand mixer, keep it running on low while you drop in your butter one piece at a time
Add in your eggs and mix completely. Then mix in your vanilla and sour cream
Rinse your blueberries and lightly pat dry. Add them to a bowl with 1 tbsp of flour, tossing them until coated
Set aside ½ cup of your blueberries and pour the rest into your batter, folding them in
Pour your batter into your prepared loaf pan and spread evenly within. Top with your extra blueberries and very lightly press them into the batter. They don’t have to be fully submerged, just press enough to make them stick
Remove your crumble from the fridge and sprinkle over the top
Bake your blueberry loaf for 70 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then run a knife along the edge, remove the bread, and transfer to a wire rack to cool for 45 minutes to an hour
Slice and enjoy!
