ALASKAN BLUEBERRY LEMON TEA BREAD



Alaskan Blueberry Lemon Tea Bread image

When I lived in Alaska, during blueberry season it was fun to climb the mountains and pick blueberries. The one hazard was that the bears were doing the same thing so it was a race to see who got the most berries during the season. The joke is that if you saw a large pile of blueberries on the trail, turn around and go away because it means bears are in the area. Bears don't digest blueberries very well so they come out whole alot of the time.

BLUEBERRY TEA BREAD



Blueberry Tea Bread image

Low fat recipe from Good Housekeeping, August, 1994.

Provided by RC :)

Categories     Sweet Breads

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

BREAD
3 c cake flour
1 1/2 c sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c light corn-oil spread (1 stick), reserve 1 tbls for topping
1 c low-fat milk (1/2% or 1%)
1 Tbsp vanilla
1 large egg, beaten
1 1/2 c blueberries
TOPPING
1 Tbsp slivered almonds, chopped
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 Tbsp cake flour
2 Tbsp sugar

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, mix baking powder, salt, flour and sugar.
  • 2. Reserve 1 tablespoon spread for topping. Cut rest of spread into flour mix to make fine crumbs.
  • 3. Stir in milk, vanilla and egg until just moistened.
  • 4. Gently stir in blueberries; spoon batter into a 9x5 loaf pan sprayed with PAM.
  • 5. In small bowl, combine almonds, cinnamon, flour, sugar and reserved spread. Mix with fork until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter.
  • 6. Bake at 350 for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until loaf tests done with a toothpick.
  • 7. Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pan and finish cooling on wire rack. Can also be baked in a tube pan.

Tips:

  • To ensure a perfectly moist and fluffy loaf, don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, making the bread tough.
  • For a more intense blueberry flavor, use fresh blueberries instead of frozen. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them and drain any excess moisture before adding them to the batter.
  • To prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the loaf, toss them with a little flour before adding them to the batter.
  • For a crispy crust, brush the top of the loaf with melted butter before baking.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Store the blueberry tea bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bread for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

This blueberry tea bread is a moist, fluffy, and flavorful treat that's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. It's also a great way to use up any leftover blueberries you may have. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite.
