RBI's Blueberry Hot Bread

Gingerbee's Note:

Not as sweet as a cake, but sweeter than a bread, this wonderful blueberry bread is served warm and buttered. A favorite country inn of mine serves it up in summer when blueberries are plump and plentiful. It truly is an eye-opener and I think you'll enjoy serving it too.

Since blueberries are in season now here in South Jersey, I'm looking for new ways to use them. I chose this recipe and I'm glad I did. We really enjoyed this bread. It's simple to whip up. It has a nice texture and flavor. Like others have said, it's not real sweet but we liked it that way and didn't add extra sugar. I like that it's lower in fat and sugar than other recipes. If you wanted it sweeter, you could always sprinkle powdered sugar over it. That would look really nice. I cooked mine in a bundt pan for 50 minutes.

Because I have only one loaf pan, I halved this to make one loaf, and it is great! I did add the 1/4 cup sugar suggested by other reviewers. My husband liked it so well he asked me to make another for him to take to work (so I did). We grow our own blueberries, so I expect to make this often. Thanks for posting.
