Cook's notes

- 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.
