Tonight I just felt like baking and I wanted something with fruit since it is that season. I found this recipe online at a blog called Go Bold with Butter. It turned out wonderfully, I am super pleased.
I won't spell out the exact amounts for all the ingredients here. Instead there is a link to the original posting at the bottom of this one. As you can see below, it includes everything you could expect plus blueberries, oats, and plain Greek yogurt.
The butter has to be melted and then allowed to cool, so I did this step first. I melted it for a total of 40 seconds in the microwave, although in two increments of 20 seconds each.
The next step I have never done before. This recipe says to coat the blueberries in flour so that they don't sink to the bottom while baking. Had never heard of this, but they didn't sink so I guess it worked!
Next you mix all of the dry ingredients except the oats. This includes flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl the wet ingredients get mixed together as well. This is the yogurt, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
Add the two together by folding (a technique I only knew how to do thanks to master baker Momma) until just mixed.
Then add in the blueberries and the oats. I found this step a little tricky. You want to get everything as mixed as possible while still being cautious and gentle so as to not break any of the blueberries. I ended up doing this successfully, but it was slightly difficult!
This gets "poured" into a greased and floured 9 by 5 pan. I put poured in quotation marks because this is a very thick and sticky batter. It looks much more like cookie dough then cake batter or brownie batter. So I basically scooped the batter in and then smooshed it into place, trying to make it as even as possible all over the pan.
Bake for 50-55 minutes and all done! It looked a little more done on the outside than I expected, but when I checked it earlier it was definitely not done in the center.
After five minutes of cooling in the pan, the bread got removed and put onto a cooling rack to finish cooling.
After allowing it to get cool enough to touch, I had to cut off a slice. And then another. It was delicious! Really, really good. This was a totally new recipe for me and I am super happy with how well it ended up turning out.
Luckily it made a decent size loaf so I will be eating and sharing this for at least the next few days!

Three posts in two days! I am definitely on a roll now. No plans to post tomorrow so I will be breaking my streak, but I will be back this weekend or next week to post again.
Until next time, thanks for reading,
