In a small bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, using a stand or a handheld mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat butter until soft and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Alternately, add dry ingredients and sour cream and stir on low speed to combine. Begin and end with dry ingredients.

Top tips for success

  • Don't overmix the batter at any step. Overmixing can cause the bread to be dense and rubbery.
  • Line the loaf pan with parchment paper so that you can easily lift the baked blueberry bread out of the pan after it has baked and cooled.
  • Do not overbake the bread or it will become dry. Be sure to do the toothpick test. If the toothpick comes out clean with a few moist crumbs, it's done.

Should the blueberries be tossed in flour?

With this recipe, no. With many recipes that call for blueberries, you will find that they often sink to the bottom of the bread, a cake, or muffins. The reason why this happens is that the weight of blueberries is too heavy for the thickness of the batter. So if the batter is thin, they are going to sink to the bottom every time.

Thankfully, this batter is thick enough that it shouldn't be an issue. As you can see in my photos, the blueberries are evenly spread throughout the bread, and I do not toss them in flour before.

How long does it last

On average, it will last 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Let come to room temperature before serving if you wish.

Freezing instructions

Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag. It will last 2-3 months. When ready to serve, place on the counter or in the refrigerator.

    Can I sub Greek yoghurt for the sour cream? I also only have 8.5 X 4.5 loaf pan. Will it spill over?

      Yes, the substitution 1:1 works great! No, it will fit.

    This sounded good using sour cream in it. I made 2 small holiday loaves in baking pans and 6 nice sized muffins. I could hardly wait to try a muffin. It's very tasty and will be great with coffee. The loaves are going to friends and the muffins are in the freezer for a future treat! The sour cream gives it such a nice flavor.

    This is my first recipe comment! I love to cook and bake and usually the recipes I download are ok but nothing really great. This blueberry bread is fantastic. The sour cream makes it so moist( I used lite sr. cream).
    I might want to experiment with various fruits and hope it turns out as tasty.

    Wow, I loved this recipe! I followed it step by step, and it came out moist and not too sweet. Baked for 55 minutes and cooled for about 10 minutes. I always look around for different recipes when I bake new things and this was one of two that I picked. I baked this first then my second recipe next, and this was 100% better than the other recipe I tried! Thank you for sharing! I will definitely be making again!
