Equipment
- oven
- loaf pan
- mixing bowl
- electric mixer
- whisk
- spatula
- wire rack
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan to prevent the bread from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale yellow in color, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix on low speed just until the batter is smooth with no visible streaks of flour. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter using a spatula until they are evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it into an even layer. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto the rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Let the bread cool completely before slicing for cleaner cuts. Use frozen blueberries if fresh are not available.
