Cook's notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation into the batter.
  • Gently fold in frozen blueberries last to avoid overmixing and streaking.
  • Line the pan with wax paper for easy removal and clean slices.
  • Refrigerate the bread after baking to maintain its moist texture.

Frequently asked

Can I use only fresh or only frozen blueberries?

Yes, you can use 3 1/2 cups of either fresh or frozen blueberries. Adjust baking time slightly if using frozen (add 2-3 minutes).

Why does the recipe call for refrigeration?

The bread is very moist due to the blueberries and brown sugar, so refrigeration helps prevent spoilage and maintains texture.

Can I substitute light brown sugar with dark brown sugar?

Yes, dark brown sugar will add a deeper molasses flavor and slightly more moisture.
