Blueberry Cranberry Bread

 

We wanted to find an easy recipe for a blueberry muffin bread and found this great recipe from the Frugalmomeh site.  So the name is for Frugal Mom eh! (because they are Canadian).  Lots of great recipes on the site.  We wanted something to make an easy breakfast bread that could replace nutbreads.  I think we found it.  I tweaked this recipe a bit and loved the way it turned out.  A nice treat for a morning - or really anytime.

Ingredients (makes one loaf)

Cooking spray

1 cup White sugar
1/2 cup Butter (one stick), unsalted
2 Eggs
1 tbsp Vanilla extract
1 cup Skim milk
2 cups Flour (all purpose)
2 tsp Baking powder

1/2 cup Cranberries, dried

1/4 cup Almonds, sliced
1 1/2 cups Blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Directions: 

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease a 9 inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
3. Cream together the butter and sugar.
4. Add the eggs, vanilla and milk beating well.
5. Beat in the dry ingredients and until well combined
6. Add blueberries and mix by hand gently with a spatula being careful not to crush the berries.
7. Pour batter into your loaf pan and bake for 75-80 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
8. Allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to finish cooling.

Enjoy!
