There’s something about a freshly baked Blueberry Bread that makes any day feel like a special occasion. Whether you’re enjoying it with your morning coffee, as a sweet afternoon snack, or served at a brunch gathering, this easy-to-make loaf is the ultimate comfort treat.
The beauty of blueberry loaf lies in its simplicity. With just a few basic ingredients – flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and of course, fresh or frozen blueberries, you can create a moist, flavorful cake that’s bursting with juicy fruit. The blueberries not only add a touch of natural sweetness, but they also provide bursts of flavor in every bite.
What makes this loaf so irresistible is its tender crumb, which is created by using a combination of butter and sour cream (or yogurt). These ingredients contribute to the moisture and richness of the cake, making it delightfully soft and melt-in-your-mouth. A dash of vanilla extract and a sprinkle of lemon zest can add an extra layer of flavor, complementing the blueberries beautifully.
To make your loaf, simply mix the dry ingredients together, then fold in the wet ingredients along with the blueberries. Be careful not to overmix the batter to ensure the loaf stays light and fluffy. Once it’s in the pan, bake until golden and fragrant. The result is a gorgeous loaf with a lightly golden crust and a soft, buttery interior.
For an extra indulgent touch, you can drizzle the top with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and lemon juice, or sprinkle a handful of extra blueberries over the top before baking for a burst of color and flavor.
This Blueberry Loaf is perfect for any occasion, whether you’re looking for a sweet breakfast treat or a dessert to share with friends. With its moist texture and sweet flavor, it’s a recipe that will become a staple in your kitchen.

This recipe turned out amazing! The bread was super moist and flavorful. Will definitely make again!
I’ve made this recipe a few times too, and it’s just to die for! The blueberries really make it pop!
Looks good but I wonder if the bread is maybe too sweet? I prefer less sugar in my recipes.
I tried it but it came out kinda dense. Not sure what I did wrong. Maybe I mixed it too much?
I don’t bake much, but this was easy. Best bread I ever made, even if I forgot to add the salt 😅!
Yummy!
Blueberries make everything better! I loved this! A perfect breakfast treat, yum!
Totally agree! Blueberries are the best! I made this yesterday, and it was a hit!
Doesn’t sound right to me. Can you really mix milk and blueberries? Sounds odd.
Mixing milk and blueberries is actually common in baking! It adds moisture to the bread. You should try it!
Nah, I don’t think this will be good. Milk and blueberries? Sounds like a weird combination to me.
Is it really supposed to bake for 60 mins? Mine was burnt after 50. Be careful!
60 mins seems long! I made it in 45 mins, and it was perfect. Maybe turn down the temp a bit?
I usually check mine around 50 mins too. Ovens can be different, so maybe yours runs hotter? Just keep an eye on it next time!
Can I use almond milk instead of regular milk? Anyone tried that?
Yes, you can use almond milk! It should work fine. Just remember it might change the flavor a bit, but it’s still yummy!
I followed the recipe exactly, but mine came out too dense. Maybe I mixed it too much? Not sure. Disappointed.
Maybe you overmixed it? The batter should be just combined. Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us!
This isn’t bread, it’s more like a cake, which is fine I guess, but you should call it cake!
I see your point! It’s kinda cake-y for sure, but I love the blueberries. Yum!
This blueberry bread is amazing! So delicious and moist! 😍
Sounds good, but I don’t like blueberries. Can I use bananas instead? 🤔
I tried it, and it turned out great! Thank you for sharing. 😋
Not my fave. The sugar was too much for me. Next time I will cut down a bit. 🤷♂️
I don’t understand why people love blueberries so much. It’s just a fruit!
I get your point, but blueberries add a nice sweetness and flavor to recipes! It’s not just about the fruit itself.
I made this with frozen blueberries and it still turned out great!
Yum! My whole family loved it! Perfect with coffee for breakfast!
Blueberries rule! 🍇🧁
This blueberry bread is AMAZING! Super moist and delicious. My kids loved it. Definitely making again!
Wow, great flavor! I used frozen blueberries and it turned out perfect. Thank you!
So good! I added some nuts too. Crunchy and sweet, best breakfast ever!
It took forever to bake! Almost 75 minutes. Is that normal? 😩
Yeah, that seems long! I usually only take like 50 mins. Maybe your oven’s not heating right? 🤔
Yum! Simple and effective. My family devoured it! 🥰
Easy recipe but my bread didn’t rise much. Did I do something wrong? Anyone else have this issue?
I tried it but mine came out too dense. Did I do something wrong?
Maybe you overmixed the batter? That can make it dense. Try folding instead next time! 😃
Easy recipe! I added walnuts for some crunch. Turned out awesome! 😊
Walnuts? Aren’t blueberries enough? 🤔 But if you liked it, that’s cool I guess.
Sounds delicious! Walnuts really do add a nice crunch. I might try it your way next time!
Not bad. I think I would add more sugar next time. Just personal taste!
