I love blueberries. I never knew that before my sister started experimenting with all these delicious recipes that ask for fresh blueberries. In fact, the only kind of blueberries I'd ever eaten were the blueberry pie filling from a can, which is good, but nothing like the fresh stuff.
Fresh blueberries are just so YuM! I'm truly happy I discovered them =) Which makes me even happier that my sister decided to make this bread. It took her a couple tries. You know how adapting recipes goes. You make the way they want and it don't work out. You make it the way you want and BaM! The cosmos align and all works out. Okay, that isn't usually how it goes, but it's nice when it does! ;)

DeleteThis looks so good! I make tons of zucchini bread, but have never tried it with blueberries. Can I use frozen instead of fresh? How much will it change the cook time? I could get fresh if I really had to, but we only buy organic and the fresh organic is 6 bucks for less than a cup and the frozen organic is $4 for 2 cups. Needless to say, I always have a bag of frozen blueberries in the freezer.
ReplyDeleteI believe frozen Blueberries will work. Although I'm not sure if they'll sink to the bottom because they'll be heavy. The only thing you can do is try it out. I think the cook time will be longer because they're frozen, but all you have to do is check every so often. I call it mother henning but it always works out in the end for me =)
