- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup oil (vegetable or other)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Blueberry Bread with Crumb Topping Recipe Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Blend your dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Add your wet ingredients: milk, oil, egg, and vanilla.
Quick Tip: Wash your blueberries and toss them with flour to give them a light dusting. This will prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom.
Fold in the dusted blueberries. Pour batter into greased loaf pan and set aside while you prepare the topping.
For the topping, press the softened butter pat, sugar, and flour together in a bowl with a fork or pastry blender until crumbly. Add more flour or sugar if needed.
Sprinkle topping over batter, and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 60-70 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool and serve.
Healthy blueberry bread can be extra-tasty for breakfast, brunch, or a snack.
Recipe Adaptations
If you want to add a bit of pizazz, you can make blueberry lemon bread by adding 2 tsp lemon zest and 2 tbsp of lemon juice to the batter. Add 1/2 tsp of lemon zest to the crumble topping, and you have a fun, easy lemon blueberry bread recipe. So delicious!

Blueberry muffins are some of my favorite EVER, but I’ve never thought to put this into a full loaf form. What a great idea! I’ll have to test this out soon. I’ve been feeling very bake-y lately haha!

This looks and sounds so yummy! I am a huge lover of blueberry anything and just know that I would love to try these!
Hello! I currently have this baking in the oven, and I’m very excited to see how it turns out. One observation about the recipe – you mention milk in the direction for adding wet ingredients, but there is no mention of milk in the ingredients. I guessed at a measure, and added ½ cup, so hopefully it turns out!
Thank you SO much for letting me know that I omitted it. It is 1/2 cup. I just added it to the recipe. I appreciate the insight, and I hope you liked it!
