Step 5: Add Eggs and Flavoring

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Then add:

• Vanilla extract

Mix until fully combined and smooth.

Step 6: Add Oil and Milk

Slowly pour in:

• Vegetable oil
• Milk

Mix on low speed until everything is well blended.

The batter may look slightly loose—that’s normal and helps create a moist loaf.

Step 7: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.

Mix gently until just combined.

👉 Do not overmix, or the loaf may become dense instead of soft.

Step 8: Fold in Blueberries

Using a spatula, gently fold in the floured blueberries.

Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 9: Bake the Loaf

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Smooth the top and tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.

Bake for 50–65 minutes, or until:

• A toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
• The top is golden and slightly cracked

If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking.

Step 10: Cool Properly

Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes.

Then lift it out using the parchment paper and place on a wire rack to cool completely.

This step helps the texture set and prevents sogginess.

🍓 Optional Additions

To elevate your loaf even more, try:

• Lemon zest → adds brightness
• Vanilla glaze → powdered sugar + milk + vanilla
• Crumb topping → butter, sugar, flour for a bakery-style crust
• White chocolate chips → extra richness
