Learning how to make blueberry bread from scratch is quick and easy! The only thing you need to make it is a bowl, spoon, and whisk.

The Ingredients

Whole Wheat Flour. Making this a whole wheat blueberry bread adds fiber, protein, and nutrients, meaning it will keep you fuller for longer. I like white whole wheat flour, because its flavor is mild (you won’t know it’s whole wheat!).Cinnamon. A pinch stirred into the dry ingredients adds warmth but doesn’t overpower the flavor.Honey. A natural way to sweeten the bread and make it ultra moist. Pure maple syrup would also work well here. Blueberries. In the summer, fresh blueberries are hard to beat, but you can use frozen blueberries in bread like this. Simply add them to the batter as directed (no need to thaw the berries first).

Greek Yogurt. How do you make quick bread moist? With Greek yogurt! Sour cream also makes quick breads moist, but I use Greek yogurt in its place. Yogurt has similar consistency and tang and is low calorie and high protein.Vanilla Extract. A must in all breakfast breads!Crunchy Cinnamon Sugar Topping. I almost hesitate to list this as optional, because it is so scrumptious. Prior to baking, top the blueberry bread with sugar and cinnamon. It adds a delightful, crunchy lid on top of each slice.
