  6. Step 6: Fold in Blueberries - Gently fold in the floured blueberries using a rubber spatula.
  7. Step 7: Pour into the Loaf Pan - Grease a loaf pan and pour the batter in, smoothing the top.
  8. Step 8: Optional Garnish - Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar on top for a sweet crust.
  9. Step 9: Bake - Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Step 10: Brush with Butter - Brush the top with melted butter for added richness.

Notes

  • Incorporate nuts like walnuts for added texture.
