Blueberry Bread or muffins

All ingredients work better together if they are at room temp. I have not attempted the muffins, but a downward adjustment in baking time would be necessary…probably around eighteen minutes, give or take.

2 C AP flour

1 C sugar

1 T baking powder

1 tsp fresh grated orange peel

1/4 tsp salt

1 C whole milk

2 beaten eggs

3 T oil

1 1/2 C blueberries…I recommend fresh, but frozen can be done

Preheat oven to 350°

Mix dry ingredients first, then add wet ingredients. Stir just until moistened, then fold in blueberries.

Pour batter into greased and floured pans. Flouring is not absolutely necessary, but removal from pan would be easier. Bake for one hour if using one pan. If using two smaller pans, start checking at 40 minutes.

Muffins: grease muffing pan or cups if desired. Fill halfway. Start checking around eighteen minutes.

I haven’t tried, but you could sub one C of the flour for whole wheat flour and melted butter for the oil.

Wrap bread while still warm in foil. Let rest at least one day before cutting to allow orange flavor to permeate…you’ll be glad you did.

It tastes as good as it looks.
