Blueberry Bread Recipe Inspiration
My kids often ask me to bake something special, and one day, my daughter requested a fruit bread. She gave me two options: blueberry bread or apple pie bread. Since I had just stocked up on a big bag of frozen blueberries from the grocery store, the choice was easy – I wanted to make a moist and flavorful blueberry bread, so I decided to try a new recipe for this quick and easy homemade blueberry bread. I was aiming for a soft, tender crumb and a burst of blueberry flavor in every bite.
I’ve baked countless batches of blueberry oatmeal loaf bread over the years simply because I love blueberries! In fact, my love for blueberries inspired me to create a FREE cookbook called The Best Blueberry Recipes Cookbook | Free Download. Inside, you’ll find my favorite recipes using fresh or frozen blueberries, including the best blueberry muffins, blueberry pies, blueberry butter, and even blueberry ice cream!

I baked the bread after dinner and wasn’t able to photograph it until the next morning because of the light… and guess what? I almost didn’t have any bread left to photograph! My family devoured this bread – it disappeared so quickly I almost didn’t have any left to photograph!
So, if you aren’t fully convinced yet to make this bread, I’ll say it one more time…IT WAS AMAZING!!! So good that you may want to make two loaves!
Ingredients for Blueberry Loaf Bread
- blueberries – I used frozen and they baked great! Because they were so cold, I did not have to coat them in flour before mixing them into the batter!
- flour – unbleached all-purpose flour creates the best soft and fluffy blueberry loaf bread
- baking powder
- salt – I always use kosher because I prefer the taste
- butter – I always use salted butter, I never feel that my recipes turn out too salty. Opt for unsalted if you wish
- vanilla extract – adds a warm, subtle flavor that complements the blueberries
- vegetable oil
- milk – 1 cup whole milk (or 2% for a slightly lighter bread)
- white granulated sugar – provides sweetness and helps create a tender crumb
