Blueberry-Orange Bread

10 Replies

I posted a recipe for some Blueberry Buttermilk Muffins last week, and I have another blueberry recipe for you this week—Blueberry-Orange Bread! This recipes makes a good-size 9×5″ loaf, has a subtle orange flavor and aroma, and is brimming with lots of blueberries! The fresh blueberries and yogurt give this quick bread a nice moist texture, and the orange juice, orange zest, and orange extract give it a delicious citrus flavor.

This loaf bakes up nice and full, and is slightly crusty on the outside because it takes 60 to 65 minutes to bake. But it’s worth the wait! Blueberry-orange is such a great flavor combination for spring and summer—serve this for breakfast, brunch, tea time, or snack time!

In large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

Spoon or pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake at 350˚F for 60 to 65 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean or almost clean.
