Recipe tips
- Toss blueberries with flour to keep them from sinking down into the loaf while baking.
- Don’t overbake. Keep a close eye on this near the end of bake time and pull it out of the oven as soon as a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Adding just a bit of lemon zest helps to enhance the blueberry flavor. If you’d like a stronger lemon flavor you can increase the lemon zest to 2 teaspoons.
