Blueberry Loaf Bread with Crumble Topping Recipe
This is the best recipe for blueberry bread that is moist and not overly sweet. It’s a quick-bread so it can be made and baked quickly.
Recipe Inspiration
I get a lot of requests from my kids asking me to make or bake things. One particular day, my daughter asked me to make a fruit bread. She said it could either be blueberry or apple bread. Because I had just bought a big bag of frozen blueberries, I opted for the first and got baking!
I’ve made a lot of blueberry bread over the years simply because I love blueberries! Actually, I love blueberries so much that I offer a FREE cookbook I wrote called The Best Blueberry Recipes Cookbook | Free Download. In the cookbook you will find my favorite recipes using fresh or frozen blueberries. The recipes range from 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! Over half the loaf was eaten by my family! They loved this bread so much!

In fact the next morning, when I planned on snapping some photos, my husband got moody with me because he just wanted to eat some now! HAHA! Then as soon as I was done taking photos, he ate the rest of the bread and even washed the bread pan! That is 100% not like him, he’s not an over-indulgent eater (unlike me!)
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
- 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 – I prefer to use unbleached all-purpose flour
- 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
- vegetable oil
- milk – I use whole milk. If you’re looking to cut calories, you can opt for 1% or 2%
- white granulated sugar
