By the way, how did you spent the Easter holidays? Were you also feasting on chocolate eggs and tons of sweets? Even if my pants are like a second skin today, I don’t regret anything. The holidays were so relaxing that I charged my batteries completely.
It’s sometimes hard studying, working, and being self-employed all at the same time. Some days are very exhausting.
Blogging is not that easy when you want to make a living out of it. Treat it like a hobby, and it will always be one. It’s a lot of work and success doesn’t happen overnight. You have to love it. Otherwise, it’s hard not to give up.
And I do. I really, really love it. I love to share all my recipes with you. Thank you so much, for following along and thank you for all the lovely comments and emails I receive from you.
It always makes me happy to read that you made a recipe of mine and it turned out great and you and your family loved it. Last time a dear Instagram friend shared a story of her and her kiddos baking my Banana Coconut Bread. It touched me deeply to see this cute family how they baked together and had so much fun. This means so much to me.
Ok back to the today’s recipe.
To see how easy it is to make here a quick overview of all the steps:
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Beat butter until soft.
- Add sugar and mix until creamy.
- Then mix in eggs and vanilla. (2 vanilla beans for the flavor! YUM!)
- Alternately add dry ingredients and sour cream. Starting and ending with dry ingredients.
- Fold in blueberries.
- BAKE
See? Very easy like I said.
I drizzled my Blueberry Bread with sugar icing before serving. It fits perfectly with the Blueberry Bread, but it’s up to your preference if you want to use it as well.
It’s also delicious to have it warm with a bit of butter and maple syrup on top.
If you want to drizzle it with sugar icing and have no recipe for a sugar icing on hand, then mix together 1/2 cup of sifted powdered sugar with 1 tbsp of milk. This will be enough for one Blueberry Bread.
Or did you ever think of smearing Nutella on top? No? You miss something. Blueberry and Nutella is an undiscovered dream combination. Trust me on this.
This Blueberry Bread recipe is
- super easy to make
- loaded with blueberry flavor
- made with brown sugar and sour cream for flavor and texture
- unbelievably moist and soft
- like you have one big blueberry muffin
- dang delicious
You are still thinking of smearing Nutella on this Blueberry Bread, don’t you?

- 2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled (240g)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (113g)
- 2/3 cup light or dark brown sugar, packed (133g)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 vanilla beans* (or 2 tsp vanilla extract)
- 1 cup sour cream (8.8oz / 250g)
- 2 cups fresh or thawed blueberries (340g)
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5“ (23x13cm) loaf pan with parchment paper with an overhang on two opposite sides to easily lift the bread out of the pan after baking. Set aside.
In a small bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl using a stand or handheld mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment beat butter until soft and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the sugar and mix until light and creamy for about 2 minutes.
Add eggs and vanilla* and mix until well combined.
Alternately, add dry ingredients and sour cream and stir on low speed to combine. Begin and end with dry ingredients.
Fold in blueberries to combine. Transfer to the prepared pan and bake for about 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes then transfer with the paper to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

*First, cut off the straight end of the vanilla bean. Then place the tip of your knife below the curled end and cut the vanilla bean through the middle of the bean lengthwise with a sharp knife. Although you don't need to cut it all the way through, it's ok when you do so. Then open the vanilla bean and scrape out the flavorful seeds with the back of your knife. Just use the seeds.
Thank you so much, Sara! I’m beyond happy that you like it! Have a wonderful day!
We are addicted to this bread! It’s so delicious and we love how much blueberries are in it. Highly recommended!
I’m happy that you like it, Anna! Thank you so much!
Hi, I’d love to try this recipe tomorrow but I’d rather now use sour cream. Is there something I can replace it with? Yoghurt perhaps?
Ps: i LOOOOVE your blog!!!
Hi Anna, generally you can replace 1 cup sour cream with 1 cup yogurt + 1 tsp baking soda. However, I didn’t try that recipe with yogurt. THANK YOU SO MUCH (:
I am sorry, but this bread is horrible! Brown sugar? No way. Needs one more egg, and only 1 cup blueberries.
I made this recipe,twice, followed it exactly as written and both times I ended up with a mushy, flat loaf.
Made a similar recipe that added one more egg, used white sugar, and 1 cup blueberries and it is delicious! 2 cups fruit in your current recipe weighs it down and creates mush due to too much liquid from the fruit…no matter if you use fresh, canned (drained) or frozen. And brown sugar is just yuck in this.
I’m sorry to hear that you don’t like this recipe. Fortunately, you found a recipe that fits your taste. The amount of eggs or other wet ingredients is depending on the amount of dry ingredients. You will find different blueberry bread recipes which have 1-4 eggs or also 1-2 cups blueberries but they all have different amounts of dry ingredients.
Confession, this did not prove to be particularly easy for me…think it took me well over 30 minutes the prep. Then I had to bake it for over and hour and it pretty much fell apart ???? BUT oh the flavor is OH SO GOOD! I will try again for sure!
The preparation time is sure depending on the experience level but 30 minutes seems to be very long for this recipe. I can’t say for sure what went wrong but when you say it fell apart, do you mean it was crumbly and dry? I see just two possibilities for too dry bread: 1. Maybe you used too much flour. The best thing is to spoon and level the flour in the measuring cup. 2. It baked too long. Maybe check after 50 minutes the first time with a toothpick.
However, I’m happy that you like the taste. If you have any questions just reach out to me again. Happy baking (:
This bread looks amazing! Gotta try this one!
Thank you so much, Karly. It is super soft, easy and quick to make, and oh so blueberry-ish. Try it and you will love it.
