blueberry loaf

It's blueberry season!  This is probably one of the last weekends to get out there and do some picking!  We went a few weeks ago and made this blueberry loaf for desert that night.
In our household this loaf is more of a desert but it could easily be served for breakfast.   Even if you're not a baker, you can swing this recipe.  Just look at the steps!  It takes about 10 minutes to mix up the batter AND it makes your house smell fantastic!


I like to double the recipe, slice it after it cools, individually wrap the slices and freeze them in a ziploc bag to pack for to-go snacks.  If I am not feeling that ambitious, I just skip the slicing and wrapping and freeze the whole loaf.
