Blueberry Bread

This easy lightened up Blueberry Bread is moist and fluffy with big bursts of blueberry flavor throughout!

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons light butter, melted (I use Land O’Lakes light butter spread with canola oil in the tub)
  • 1 ½ cups + 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried off

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Mist a 9” x 5” loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the egg, applesauce, sugar, and vanilla extract and stir together until well combined. Add the melted butter and stir together.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, add 1 ½ cups of the flour, the baking soda, baking powder, and salt and whisk until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir together until just combined into a batter.
  • Toss the blueberries in the remaining teaspoon of flour until coated. Fold the blueberries into the batter until combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45-55 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Transfer the bread in the loaf pan to a wire cooling rack and cool in the pan for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes, invert the pan to release the bread onto the cooling rack and then flip it over so that it’s right side up. Allow the bread to rest directly on the rack until cool. Once cool, slice into 12 (3/4” thick) slices.
