RBI's Blueberry Hot Bread

Submitted by Gingerbee

"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."

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.

I increased the sugar by an extra 1/4 cup as one of the reviewers recommended. I'm definitely glad I did that. It's still not very sweet but it's perfect for a quick bread. I love it how there's not much butter (a low fat recipe!) I thought it was delicious hot and it tasted rich enough that I didn't add any butter to my slice. I used frozen blueberries. Yum!

Since I had a pint of blueberries that were about to go bad, I made this on 7/15/08. The directions were very easy to follow, and right to the point. I coated the berries with a little of the flour from amount listed in the recipe.The baking time of 40 minutes was the perfect amount of time for my oven.After baking, I took a slightly warm slice and spread a little margarine on it. It was so good. I do think however the next time this is made another 1/4 cup of sugar will be added. Thank you so much for posting and, "Keep Smiling :)"

I tried this recipe because I had a pint of blueberries about to go bad and I love it! The bread has a great consistency, almost like a huge muffin! Next time I think I will bake it in one larger pan so I can slice it and make French Toast out of it. Yummy!

This blueberry bread is the one I’ve been making for mumble-mumble years (since before most of you were born.). It’s one of the recipes in the Blueberry Hill Cookbook - a mid-century classic. It’s a wonderful blueberry bread.
