A Step-by-Step Recipe for Fluffy Blueberry Bread Using Sour Cream
If you’re looking for a deliciously moist and fluffy blueberry bread that’s perfect for breakfast or a snack, then you’ve come to the right place. This recipe uses sour cream to enhance the texture and flavor, making your blueberry bread irresistibly tender. Follow this step-by-step guide to create your own delightful loaf at home.
Gather Your Ingredients
Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients ready. You will need: 1 cup of fresh blueberries (or frozen), 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, ½ cup of unsalted butter (softened), 1 cup of sour cream, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Having everything organized will make the process much smoother.
Preheat Your Oven and Prepare the Pan
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While your oven is heating up, take a standard loaf pan (9×5 inches) and grease it thoroughly with butter or use parchment paper for easy removal after baking. This step is crucial so that your blueberry bread doesn’t stick to the pan once it’s done.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar. Using an electric mixer or whisking by hand until light and fluffy takes about 3-5 minutes. Next, add in the eggs one at a time while continuing to mix. Then incorporate the sour cream and vanilla extract until well-combined. The mixture should be creamy and slightly thick.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed. Gradually add this dry mixture into your wet ingredients while gently folding using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon—this prevents overmixing which can lead to tough bread.
Fold in Blueberries and Bake
Once your batter is well combined but still lumpy (which is perfectly fine), gently fold in the blueberries without breaking them apart too much. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan evenly spreading it out. Bake for approximately 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean with just a few crumbs attached.
Let your blueberry bread cool in its pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into it. Enjoy this fluffy treat warm with some butter spread on top or as is—it’s sure to be a hit among family and friends.
