We love recipes with juicy blueberries like Blueberry Breakfast CakeLemon Blueberry Bundt Cake, and Easy Blueberry Muffins.

The perfect, easy, and moist Blueberry Bread

This is the BEST and easiest one-bowl Blueberry Quick Bread you’ll ever make! Made with 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries this recipe bakes up into a deliciously soft and moist treat that tastes great as a dessert after dinner but also makes a quick breakfast.

You can whip up this easy recipe in less than 10 minutes and you don’t even need a mixer! The batter is just thick enough to prevent the berries from sinking to the bottom of the pan (which I hate!) so that you get a bread that’s studded with juicy blueberries all the way.

Another great thing about this Blueberry Muffin Bread is that it keeps fresh for days and can also be frozen. Perfect for busy school mornings!

Tips and Tricks for Making the BEST Homemade Blueberry Bread

  • Always measure your flour correctly! Don’t scoop the flour! Spoon flour into your measuring cup and level it off with the back of a knife. Too much flour can make the bread dense and dry.
  • If you like sweeter breads you can increase the amount of sugar to 3/4 cup. My family prefers it with 1/2 cup!
  • For the best result let the blueberries come to room temperature before adding them to the batter.
  • Dry the blueberries thoroughly after washing them.
  • Don’t overmix the batter! Mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened, about 15 light strokes with a spatula. It’s ok if there are some small lumps. Overmixing can cause the bread to be tough and bake unevenly.
  • Fold the blueberries into the batter gently to minimize streaking. A silicone spatula works best for this.

Can I use frozen blueberries to make Blueberry Quick Bread?

Yes, you can use frozen blueberries in this recipe. Don’t let them thaw! Add the frozen berries directly from the freezer to the batter and try to be super gently while folding them in to minimize streaking.

How to store Blueberry Bread?

Let the bread cool completely then put it in a big enough plastic container or resealable plastic bag that’s lined with a sheet of paper towel. Put another sheet on top and seal the container. This way the bread keeps fresh and moist for up to 4 days at room temperature.

If you want to store the bread longer cut it into slices and put it into a resealable freezer bag. The bread will keep fresh for up to 3 months. To defrost let the slices come to room temperature then reheat in the oven or microwave if desired.

Tools used to make this Blueberry Bread

Loaf Pan: I really like this loaf pan because it has a non-stick coating that really works and it is easy to clean.
Vanilla Extract: BEST Vanilla Extract!
Mixing Bowls: These glass mixing bowls are super sturdy and come with lids!

    Easy, moist and very tasty! My family loved it! I’m adding this recipe to my collection! Next time I may add a streusel topping for a little crunch! Loved it!

  2. It was a easy and fun recipe to make with my mom. Can’t wait for it to come out of the oven!

    Made this today with some fresh blueberries that were just barely starting to wilt (needed to do something with them). This came out so moist and not overly sweet. Will definitely make it again. As a variation, I wonder if adding some lemon zest would work in it too?

  4. 5 stars
    Such a delicious blueberry bread! This was fast and easy and I loved the limited sugar. This will be my new go-to recipe.
    Thank you!

  5. I used oat milk since that was the only milk I used and it was a great substitute! I also used frozen blueberries and the color of the bread was so magical. Thank you for the recipe! Also maybe for the next time I make this, I’ll add some walnuts for some crunch!

  6. 3 stars
    Very bland. Made no changes to the recipe as written. did add more sugar as mentioned in the notes because we like it a little sweeter but overall it was meh. Very easy to follow and quick to put together but lacked flavor. I’ll try a different recipe

  7. Batter was extremely thick and lumpy..hard to work with..followed directions to a T….couldn’t even fold in blueberries..what happened?

    1. Sounds like too much flour, make sure to measure the flour correctly using a spoon to fill the measuring cup. The batter should definitely not be extremely thick and lumpy, to save the batter next time this happens you can just add a few tablespoons of milk until the batter has the right consistency.
