Contest-Winning Blueberry Quick Bread Recipe image

This sweet bread recipe has won a blue ribbon at our state fair, perhaps because the crushed pineapple and coconut give it a mild but delicious twist. It makes two loaves, so you can freeze one for a future treat. â??Lois Everest, Goshen, Indiana

Number Of Ingredients 13

2/3 cup butter, softened
1-1/4 cups sugar blend
2 eggs
4 egg whites
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
3 cups all-purpose flour
3-3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fat-free milk
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1 cup canned unsweetened crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1/2 cup flaked coconut

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar blend until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, egg whites and lemon juice. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Fold in the blueberries, pineapple, pecans and coconut.
  • Transfer to two 8x4-in. loaf pans coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
  • Yield: 2 loaves (12 slices each).
  • Editor's Note: This recipe was tested with Splenda sugar blend. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before adding to batter.
