Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 50 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Carefully fold in fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- For the streusel topping, mix brown sugar, melted butter, oats, and cinnamon in a small bowl until crumbly.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the top of the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve. The bread can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Use Fresh Blueberries: For the best flavor and texture, opt for fresh blueberries. If using frozen, make sure to thaw and drain them to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense loaf, so be gentle!
- Customize Your Topping: Feel free to get creative with the streusel topping! Add chopped nuts or a pinch of nutmeg for an extra layer of flavor.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your bread at the 45-minute mark. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool Completely: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps maintain its structure and prevents it from becoming soggy.
- Storage Tips: To keep your blueberry muffin bread fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for longer storage.
