Blueberry Orange Nut Bread Recipes

ORANGE BLUEBERRY BREAD

Steps:

• Grease the bottom and sides of a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Alternately, line the loaf pan with parchment paper and then spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
• In a small bowl, combine the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of the flour and the orange zest. Toss lightly to combine.
• In a large bowl, mix together the remaining 3 cups of flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the center of the mix.
• In another bowl, or in a large liquid measuring cup, combine the egg, milk, orange juice and oil.
• Pour the liquid into the well in the center of the dry mixture. Stir just until moistened. (Do not worry about making the batter smooth - there should be some lumps left.) Fold in the blueberry mixture.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 60 minutes. If the bread starts to get too brown, cover with a piece of foil during the last 10-15 minutes.
• Cool the bread in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and allow to cool completely.
• Bread can be eaten once cooled, or for best results, wrap in plastic wrap and store overnight before serving.
