Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray, and set it aside.

Step 2

Sprinkle the 2 teaspoons of flour on top of the fresh blueberries, and gently stir them. Remove the excess flour and set the coated berries aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.

Step 4

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla until all the wet ingredients are incorporated.

Step 5

Using a wooden spoon, slowly stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until no flour streaks are visible. Be careful not to over mix.

Step 6

Carefully fold in the blueberries, taking care not to crush the berries while mixing.

Step 7

Spoon the blueberry batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar on top of the bread for garnish, this is optional.

Step 8

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the blueberry bread to rest in the pan for 20 minutes before removing the bread and transferring it to a cooling rack.

Step 10

Using a pastry brush, brush on 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving.
