Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups buttermilk
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 units large eggs
• 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray, and optionally line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as it could make the bread dense.

Step 5

In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. This will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the bread during baking.

Step 6

Fold the floured blueberries into the batter gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top begins to brown too quickly, tent the pan with aluminum foil for the last 10-15 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it 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 quick bread plain, or with a pat of butter for an extra indulgence. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
