Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups milk
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• 0.5 cups chopped pecans or walnuts
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense bread.

Step 5

In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the bread as it bakes.

Step 6

Gently fold the blueberries and chopped nuts into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Serve slices of blueberry nut bread plain or with butter, and enjoy!
