No mixer needed for this colorful, tasty, lemon-blueberry loaf. A tried-and-true recipe I have used for many years. Like most sweet loaves, this one tastes best when wrapped tightly and allowed to sit for a day to let the flavors meld.

BLUEBERRY MINI LOAVES
Makes 4 (5 1/2-inch) loaves
Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°. Spray 4 (5 1/2-inch) loaf pans with nonstick baking spray with flour. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar with a mixer at medium speed until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and next 3 ingredients. Add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture, beating just until combined after each addition; gently stir in blueberries. Spoon batter into prepared pans. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool for 30 minutes on wire racks; serve warm.
Tips:
- Use fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries will give your mini loaves the best flavor and texture. If you're using frozen blueberries, be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your mini loaves tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Don't overfill the loaf pans: The batter will rise as it bakes, so don't fill the loaf pans more than two-thirds full.
- Bake the mini loaves until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the mini loaves are cooked through.
- Let the mini loaves cool completely before glazing: This will help the glaze to set properly.
Conclusion:
These blueberry citrus mini loaves are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're moist, flavorful, and have a beautiful citrus glaze. Whether you're serving them for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, these mini loaves are sure to be a hit.
