Blueberry Quick Bread With Vanilla Sauce Recipes

BLUEBERRY BREAD

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 8x4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Place the blueberries in a separate bowl and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the dry ingredients (this will help keep the blueberries from sinking to the bottom).
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, melted butter, vanilla, and lemon zest until smoothly combined. Whisk in the eggs. If the butter resolidifies, gently warm the bowl in the microwave, just until it melts again.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and with a wooden spoon or spatula, very gently stir the batter, stopping as soon as the flour disappears. Fold in the blueberries.
• For the topping, if using: In a small bowl, stir together the raw sugar and cinnamon.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar topping, if using. Bake for 30 minutes, then loosely tent the pan with foil to keep the bread from browning too quickly. Continue baking for 15 to 20 additional minutes (45 to 50 minutes total), or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean without any wet batter clinging to it. Place the pan on a wire rack and let cool completely. Transfer to a cutting board, slice, and enjoy!

BUTTERMILK BLUEBERRY BREAD

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
• Chop butter into small cubes (about 30 pieces, or so). Scatter into the mixing bowl and cut into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles sandy crumbs. -- You can use two knives, a pastry cutter, or a hand-held electric mixer on low speed to cut the butter in.
• In a separate bowl, lightly beat eggs with a whisk. Add buttermilk and vanilla; whisk until well combined. Stir in blueberries.
• Add buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture. Quickly stir together by hand until mixtures are just combined (there may still be some lumps, and that's okay).
• Immediately pour batter into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan and place in a preheated 350℉ oven.
• Bake for 60-65 minutes until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then remove from pan to cool completely.
• Store at room temperature for up to 1 day, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• I use a hand-held mixer on low speed to cut the butter into the flour mixture, and it works super easy! With this method, you just need to keep the mixer speed on low and stop as soon as the mixture resembles sandy crumbs. -- We're going for crumbs here, not a dough or batter.
• If you're finishing up this bread within about a day or so, it's fine to store it at room temperature. If it'll be enjoyed for longer than that, store it in the refrigerator. -- The blueberries in the bread are a bit "fragile" and do best refrigerated.

BLUEBERRY LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan.
• Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Stir milk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract into flour mixture until batter is just blended. Gently fold blueberries into batter; pour into prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes.

THE BEST BLUEBERRY BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Vigorously whisk eggs, egg yolks, salt, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a large bowl until mixture turns light and frothy, about 1 minute. Add vanilla, cinnamon, lemon zest, milk, and cream; whisk to combine. Toss in bread slices and press down until they start to soften and are submerged. Let sit, pressing down occasionally with a spatula, until custard has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Brush 2 tablespoons melted butter in the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Grab a few intact bread slices from the top of the bowl if possible and set aside. Transfer 1/2 of the remaining soaked bread into the prepared baking dish. Don't worry if it's falling apart, it should be; if not, break it up into pieces. Add blueberries and spread with your fingers to press them down into the bread. Add remaining bread pieces in an even layer, then top with the reserved slices. Pour any remaining custard batter over top and brush with remaining melted butter.
• Transfer bread pudding onto a baking sheet and place in the center of the preheated oven. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 1 hour. Let sit for at least 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
• Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
