Ingredients
-
½ cup milk
-
¼ cup canola oil
-
1 large egg
-
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
¾ cup granulated sugar
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
1 ½ cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
For the vanilla glaze (optional):
-
¾ cup powdered sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
2 teaspoons water
To decorate:
-
Fresh blueberries
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan, or line with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Sift in the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir gently until just combined.
-
Pour ⅓ of the batter into the loaf pan. Toss the blueberries in a tablespoon of flour and fold them into the remaining batter.
-
Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
For the glaze, mix powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and water. Drizzle over the cooled bread if desired.
Notes
-
Let the bread cool completely before glazing, or the glaze may melt off.
-
Ensure the wet ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
-
Frozen blueberries work great too, just remember to toss them in flour to prevent sinking!
