How to Make Blueberry Buttermilk Breakfast Loaves

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease and flour your mini loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the Dry Ingredients

1. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugar

1. In a separate large bowl, use a mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

1. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 5: Fold in the Blueberries

1. Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking.
2. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter using a spatula.

Step 6: Fill the Pans and Bake

1. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini loaf pans, filling each about 3/4 full.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

1. Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Serving Suggestions

• Enjoy with a dollop of whipped cream or a smear of butter for an indulgent breakfast.
• Pair with coffee or tea for a delightful morning treat.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle with a light lemon glaze for added sweetness.

Tips for the Best Blueberry Buttermilk Breakfast Loaves

• Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure the butter, eggs, and buttermilk are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
• Don’t Overmix: Mix the batter just until combined to keep the loaves tender.
• Fresh vs. Frozen Blueberries: Both work well, but frozen blueberries may tint the batter slightly purple.

Storage Instructions

• At Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Refrigerator: Extend freshness by storing in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• Freezer: Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
