Blueberry Bread

As you may (or may not) know, I really enjoy baking. I mean, seriously. In fact, I think I like the baking part more than the actual eating part. Unless it's chocolatey.... Then I'll be licking the bowl before I wash it! (Lindsay, yes, I did what you think I did with the leftover frosting from the cake I made you this weekend!)

Anyways, I love trying new recipes too. Here's a new one for Blueberry Bread that I found on Buns In My Oven. I used the blueberries I had frozen over the summer. It's not too sweet so it would make a really good breakfast bread.

Blueberry Bread

• 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup applesauce
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 2 large eggs
• 2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 3 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Heat oven to 350 degrees and grease the bottom of two 8 or 9 inch loaf pans.

In the bowl of your mixer, add sugar, milk, applesauce, oil, and eggs. Mix well. Mix in the remaining ingredients except for the blueberries and mix until combined. Fold in the blueberries.

Pour in the loaf pans and bake for 45-55 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes and then remove from the pan and cool on a wire rack.

If you want it to look pretty with the oats on the top, sprinkle it on before you bake it. Most of it will stick, and you can just gently shake off what doesn't.
