11 -
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
12 -
1 tbsp lemon zest
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides. Preparing your pan properly is key for a beautiful Moist Cottage Cheese Blueberry Bread Recipe.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt. Ensure all dry ingredients are well combined and free of lumps.
03 -
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups full-fat cottage cheese, 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted), 1/4 cup whole milk, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
04 -
Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient mixture. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a tough bread instead of a tender Moist Cottage Cheese Blueberry Bread Recipe.
05 -
Gently fold 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries and 1 tbsp lemon zest into the batter. Distribute the blueberries evenly throughout the mixture without crushing them too much.
06 -
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Bake for 50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. This ensures a perfectly baked Moist Cottage Cheese Blueberry Bread Recipe.
07 -
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy your delicious Moist Cottage Cheese Blueberry Bread Recipe warm or at room temperature.
# Notes:
01 -
If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them. Toss them lightly with 1 tablespoon of flour before adding to the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
02 -
For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle a tablespoon of turbinado sugar on top of the batter before baking for a sweet, crunchy crust.
03 -
Store leftover bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. It also freezes beautifully for longer enjoyment.
04 -
This bread is fantastic on its own, but also pairs wonderfully with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a smear of cream cheese, or a drizzle of honey for breakfast or a snack.
