Usually on rainy days or days that it's too hot to go outside, Audrey and I will bake a treat. I had a surplus of blueberries from a sale at Cub, so I decided to look for blueberry recipes. I found a Betty Crocker site with an Oatmeal Blueberry Bread. Let me tell you, it is NOT as sweet as I had wanted it to be. I assumed it would be sweeter, so it might need some tweaks before you figure out the sugar level you want. (It was amazing with vanilla ice cream on it hahaha!) I did add more blueberries than called for. I found it to be much to boring without it.
Oatmeal Blueberry Bread
2/3 c packed brown sugar
3/4 c milk
1/2 c vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 1/4 c flour
1 c oats
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 - 2 c blueberries
- Heat oven to 350ºF. Grease bottom only of 8- or 9-inch loaf pan.
- In large bowl, mix brown sugar, milk, oil and eggs with spoon. Stir in remaining ingredients except blueberries; beat 30 seconds. Fold in blueberries. Pour into pan. Sprinkle with additional oats and blueberries if desired.
- Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Loosen sides of loaf from pan; remove from pan to wire rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing.
Again, it wasn't as sweet as I thought it would turn out so depending on your level desired, add more or add less. Enjoy!
