Sliced Blueberry Oatmeal Bread

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!

    I’ve been baking this bread for quite a while. My husband has high cholesterol and I need to find ways to introduce oats or to baje without butter. He likes his breads and cakes and this has been a hit! Easy to follow recipe, the result is always delicious.

    Really, really good. Note: more is not better where the blueberries are concerned; it gets a little soggy.)

    I love love love this recipe! I make it frequently for myself and freeze the slices so it doesn’t go bad before I can eat it all and then I can have a slice whenever I like. It is a perfect treat that isn’t too sweet and I feel good about the ingredients used in it. Thank you so much for sharing this!

    How can I incorporate ripe banana? Should I replace the yogurt with it?

    1. Liz DellaCroce Avatar

      1 ripe banana could replace one of the eggs in terms of moisture and binding.

    Dough way too dry so I had to add coconut milk. Otherwise very good

    I made your modified recipe using the flax seed that I ground up in my coffee grinder and no other substitutions. (I see your old recipe used wheat germ?) I had a dark metal pan so I baked at 325°F and it was done in 50 mins. Let it cool in the pan overnight and brought it to work for our ‘breakfast club’ and it was a hit! I loved it and so did everyone else. It was a nice change from co-workers bringing in donuts and bagels all the time. Thanks for the healthy alternative!
