This moist and healthy Blueberry Oatmeal Bread is made with creamy yogurt, plump blueberries, and warm cinnamon. It’s ideal for freezing and perfect for breakfast or even dessert!
Every summer my family picks fresh blueberries, raspberries, and any other fruit that is available around us. I love to use the fresh fruit for a whole bunch of different baked goodies. Whether you use fresh or frozen, my Healthy Blueberry Oatmeal Bread is an excellent option for a fast and nutritious breakfast. We love to use leftovers for French toast the next day. It’s not too heavy, and has just the right amount of sweetness.
Ingredients
- Flour: I like to use whole wheat pastry flour, but you can use all purpose flour, or almond flour to make it gluten-free.
- Oats: A great source of protein and fiber added to the bread, I typically use old-fashioned oats.
- Sugar: Sweetens the bread.
- Flax seed meal: A great additive for the bread that does little to to affect taste, but is a great source of omega 3 fatty acids.
- Baking powder & baking soda: Helps the bread to rise and leaven.
- Cinnamon: Adds some warm, woody, and somewhat sweet flavor.
- Salt: Salt is essential in baking to enhance the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Yogurt: I use plain yogurt and it makes the bread incredibly moist.
- Vegetable oil: Adds moisture to the batter.
- Eggs: Acts as a binder for the bread.
- Vanilla: Adds flavor and moisture to the bread.
- Blueberries: Full of antioxidants and phytonutrients, they are kind of sweet, kind of tart, and juicy. You can use fresh or frozen blueberries!
How to make Healthy Blueberry Oatmeal Bread
Start your blueberry oatmeal bread by mixing all of your dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Then in a different bowl, whisk all of your wet ingredients.
Then mix your wet ingredients into your dry until fully incorporated. Finish by folding in your blueberries.
Then pour your batter into a greased loaf pan.
I like to top my loaves with fresh blueberries before tossing in the oven at 350 for about 50 minutes.
Once the bread is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean, remove your bread from the oven and let cool. Then serve and enjoy your Blueberry Oatmeal Bread!
