This blueberry muffin bread recipe is so soft and moist and just loaded with fresh blueberries! If you love soft, moist blueberry muffins, you’ll love a slice of this blueberry muffin bread!
I love making easy blueberry muffins in the morning. I mean, it’s like cake. For breakfast.
And errbody knows that blueberries are a superfood. I don’t exactly know what a superfood is, or why there is no space between the two words (Hello, grammar, where are you?), but they are a big deal apparently.
So, let’s just get on the superfood blueberry train. But let’s skip the muffins and head straight to a loaf of bread.
This blueberry muffin bread is seriously so good! A slice of this, a smear of butter, a cup of coffee…what more could you need at breakfast??
How to make blueberry muffin bread:

Grease a 9×5 loaf pan. We use a ceramic pan, but a metal loaf pan works just well.
Cream together butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy and then beat in an egg and vanilla.
Mix in the dry ingredients and then fold in the blueberries. Use a rubber spatula to fold the blueberries in gently, so as not to break them up too much.
Spread the batter into the pan and bake for about an hour. Your house is going to smell amazing.
Making the glaze:
The glaze is completely optional, but we love the the little touch of sweetness it adds.
You’ll just whisk together powdered sugar and milk until it’s the consistency you prefer. Add more powdered sugar to make it thicker and more milk to make it thinner.

I liked the recipe, I didn’t have the buttermilk so I substituted for 1/2 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and I added lemon zest to the blueberries ( really brings out the flavor in all) I just did a taste test an this is so moist an yummy. Thanks for posting.

Glad you enjoy it!

Loved the Blueberry muffin bread, but changed it up a little.. Substituted the white sugar for real maple syrup,added 1 tsp. Cinnamon and reduced the vanilla to 1/2 tsp. I like bothow versions and the Blueberry flavor is really enhanced by the maple and cinnamon. Gets a little browned but hey its all good.
Karly says
Sounds amazing!

I made your blueberry muffin bread and it is fabulous. My entire family loved it. In fact, teenage daughter said, “this is one of the best things you’ve ever made, mom.” Have to give credit where credit is due. Thanks for this great recipe.
Karly says
So glad you guys enjoyed it! ๐

Looks so good!…any way to get the amount of carbs on here and how many grams of sugar, don’t plan on using the glaze on here.

Amallia @DesireToEat says
One slice for me please…:-) I love blueberries!
Karly says
Bet ya can’t eat just one! ๐
Joanne says
Making things in loaf form is SO much easier than distributing the batter among all the muffin holes. I mean, REALLY. Those really should not be standing in the way of a girl and her superfoods cake.

I love the way you “cheat” Karly, reconstituting an old recipe into a lovely new one! I would love waking up to this for breakfast! ๐
Simple Green Moms says
This. Looks. Amazing. I love blueberry muffins but always feel guilty about eating 6 at a time. It would be so great to just be like “I did so good today and only one loaf…!” Seriously looks sooooo YUMMY! =)
Karly says
One loaf of bread is so much more reasonable than 6 muffins. I think.
Anna @ Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
I would totally eat this bread for breakfast! It’s studded with blueberries! Love it!
Angelyn @ Everyday Desserts says
looooooove this bread! I’m seriously craving like half the loaf right now.
Chandra@The Plaid & Paisley Kitchen says
I am totally going to tell my muffin pan to shove it!! This is making me so hungry! Pinning!
Karly says
TAKE THAT, MUFFIN TIN. ๐

I don’t know if you have a Great Harvest Bread Co. near you but they have something similar to this. Red, White and Blueberry Bread. It is SO GOOD! The red is cranberries and the white is white chocolate chips.
This reminded me of it. Now I want some.
Love blueberries (just had some in our oatmeal) so all these recipes will be helpful! Thanx!
Karly says
Ooh, that sounds amazing. I don’t think we have the store around here, but I’ll keep an eye out!

Blueberries…. in December! Everyone is posting holiday recipes that we forget that there are other ingredients other than pumpkin and apples and chocolate this time of year. This looks great! ๐
Karly says
I like to live on the edge every now and then. ๐ Also, I’m tired of cookies.
Baby+June says
What a fantastic idea! I would definitely take a slice of that for breakfast ๐
