I've transformed my very popular berry muffin recipe into a crowd-pleasing fresh Blueberry Bread Loaf and today I'm sharing that recipe with you!

A text review of the recipe with a photo of five stars.

When it comes to quick bread recipes like this fruity blueberry bread, I'm always torn whether it's a cake or a bread. Serve it for breakfast or dessert? Maybe brunch!

Much like most traditional food rules, I say, it is whatever you want to classify it as and you can eat it whenever you like.

I especially like this blueberry bread with a vanilla latte on the side mid morning, but it's equally as delicious for a dessert or even late night snack. So enjoy it any way you like.

If you have tried my Strawberry Blueberry Muffins you know how good they are and you get why I'd make a bread out of it. If you haven't, pop on over to the recipe and check it out. Better yet, there are lots of reviews and reader photos posted on the pinterest pin so maybe check that out too.

Other than the obvious, there are no strawberries in this recipe as there are in my muffins, there really aren't any changes.

I just love a good fruity dessert, don't you? Another recipe I've been wanting to try is this Blueberry Crumb Cake.

Combine dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in another. Next, stir them both together and then fold in the blueberries.

Pour the batter into a prepared loaf pan.

Sprinkle the topping over the batter and pop it in a preheated oven.

Use a larger loaf pan like this 9.5 x 6 Loaf Pan. If you do not have a loaf pan, use an 8x8 baking dish.

Baking time should be somewhere between 55 - 65 min. Check the doneness (is that a word?) by sticking a toothpick into the center, if it comes out clean it's done. If it doesn't, leave it in longer. I have noticed a variance in cooking time based on the material and size of loaf pan.

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 15 min and then remove the bread from pan and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack.

If you cut it while it's hot it will fall apart.

Equipment

1 Loaf Pan 9 x 5 inch

Ingredients

2 large eggs
⅔ Cup vegetable oil or similar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅔ Cup milk whole or 2 %
2 Cup blueberries (fresh)
3 Cup flour, all purpose
1 ½ Cup sugar, granulated
3 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt, kosher

Topping

¼ Cup brown sugar
¼ Cup sugar, granulated
1 teaspoon cinnamon
⅓ Cup flour, all purpose
¼ Cup butter soft but not melted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Prepare loaf pan with cooking spray or butter. Set aside.
In a bowl whisk together eggs, oil, vanilla and milk. Set aside.
In another bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Stir together wet and dry ingredients. Fold in berries.
Spread batter into loaf pan.
Sprinkle topping over the batter. It will be clumpy; it's okay. See photo above in post.
Bake in preheated oven 55 to 65 minutes. Test for doneness by placing a toothpick in center of bread, if it comes out clean it is done. If it does not, continue baking. *NOTE 1
Allow bread to cool in pan for 15 minutes before removing bread and placing it on a cooling rack.
Do NOT cut bread while hot or it will fall apart. Allow to cool before slicing!

Topping

In a small bowl combine all topping ingredients with a fork until combined. It will be almost dough-like. You'll break it into pieces with your fingers when topping the cake.

Notes

Note 1: The size and material of your loaf pan will greatly effect the bake time. It is always best to test. Readers have reported bake times anywhere from 60 minutes to 80 minutes.

Note 2: An 8x8 baking pan can be used instead of a loaf pan.

Note 3: The topping on this bread is not a crumb like a streusel topping rather it bakes into the top of the bread. If you want more of a crumb topping, use really cold butter and cut it into the dry ingredients for the crumb.

Note 4: I cannot stress this enough - if you slice this while it is hot, it will fall apart! Allow this bread / loaf to cool before slicing.
