Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)
- 1 tablespoon flour (for coating blueberries)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour your mini loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugar
- In a separate large bowl, use a mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- 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
- Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking.
- Gently fold the blueberries into the batter using a spatula.
Step 6: Fill the Pans and Bake
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini loaf pans, filling each about 3/4 full.
- 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
- Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- 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.
