5 Ingredient Blueberry Bread Ingredients
- Flour: If you don’t have self rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup all purpose flour with 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Add-Ins: For more flavor, add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract or lemon zest to the batter.
- Oil Option: You can use a neutral oil instead of melted butter. Oil makes the bread extra moist, while butter gives it a richer flavor.
- Sweet Crunchy Top: Sprinkle the top of the bread with some granulated sugar before baking for extra sweetness.
