This Blueberry Streusel Bread is delicious treat which is great for breakfasts, lunches or anytime!
Last week, I wrote a post on a new recipe challenge. I enjoy trying new recipes and making new foods, but sometimes we get into a food rut. I want accountability to try new foods, whether they are made for a family dinner or a side dish or a dessert.
Or in this case, a bread. A really, really, yummy bread.
I have many bread recipes and muffin recipes, but this one was different. This was a very thick, very flavorful bread. The Blueberry Streusel Bread was eaten quickly with many requests for breakfast. It would be great for breakfast or in school lunches with or without jelly or peanut butter on it.
How To Make Blueberry Streusel Bread
First, you mix together the wet ingredients. Then you add the dry ingredients. As many of you know, I like simple recipes without a lot of bowls. You don’t need to use a separate bowl to mix the dry ingredients first. Simply add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir well.
Saves dishes that way. 😉
Next, fold in the blueberries and place mixture in a greased loaf pan.
Next, mix together the streusel ingredients. Then sprinkle on top of the dough in the loaf pan.
Can I add more streusel to the top of the bread?
Um, Yeah! The more streusel, the better, right? My children would certainly think so. The streusel is made up of cinnamon, butter, brown sugar and flour. You could use oatmeal instead of flour if you choose. I personally like the flour in this streusel recipe.
Bake, remove from pan and enjoy! I recommend turning the bread out of the pan about 10 minutes after removing from the oven. Use a knife to loosen the bread from the sides.
Easy bread, enjoyed by the family!

This bread is delicious mines wasn’t as moist as I would like but still very good. I did use whole wheat flour instead of all purpose, coconut oil & almond milk.
Kim
I’m glad you like it. I am starting to use more almond milk in recipes as well. We find it delicious! I do know that if you use whole wheat flour instead of all purpose, it does tend to be drier. Maybe a half and half combo would help? Thanks for the comment and the four star rating! 🙂

Can you use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
Kim
Yes! In fact, that is the kind I use most often! We buy a bunch from a farmer and I freeze the blueberries and hope it lasts us all winter. 🙂

I made this bread in two loaf pans and it took 45 minutes to bake. I thought it wasn’t as moist as I would have liked it to be. I put more berries in the batter. I don’t think I will make it again.
Kim
Well, I’m glad you tried it! I have always had this bread be extremely moist for us. I wonderful if you baked it a little longer? Maybe we could troubleshoot it–just let me know!
pam
How long do you let them cool in the tins?
Kim
I let them cool for about 10 minutes before I use a knife to loosen the edges and then turn it out of the pan and place on cooling rack. I hope it works for you!!

I made this today using chia seeds & water in place of the egg (only b/c I’m out of eggs) and it turned out great. Very delicious! I made 2 loaves and they were the perfect size. Thank you!
Kim
I am so glad it worked out for you. It is delicious bread!!

Hi all!
This tasted great-no complaints there! I believe the spill over issue can be resolved by reducing the amount of baking power to 1 tsp. Bon appetite!
Kim
Thank you so much!
Toni
Should of made two loafs. Lol. Huge hit in my house. Making more today! Trying your pizza casserole tonight. Yum!
Sarah
I’m glad you liked it! We loved the bread too. The pizza casserole is a favorite–in fact, I haven’t made it in a while. I need to put it on the menu for next week!! 🙂
Sarah
Good to know, thank you! I didn’t have the problem, but if two people did, then I will make it again and see. Thanks for the feedback!
Kandy
Yes I used a standard loaf pan and melted the butter for the topping…
Sarah
Well, I’m glad you liked it! I’m sorry it didn’t turn out exactly right. I only used one pan when I made this, did you use a standard loaf pan? Also, make sure your butter is softened or melted when you mix the topping ingredients. That should help the topping coming off of the top. If you try it again and it still happens let me know!! 🙂
Sarah
I am so sorry about the misprint in the recipe! There isn’t any butter in the bread batter. My mind must have been on the streusel topping. 😉 Mix the egg and sugar together. Thank you for pointing this out to me!
scott
No worries, I went to make it last night and was caught short so I debated on whether or not to push on and see how it turned out.
I decided not to do that as blueberries are not cheap, But tonight we are making two loaves.
Thanks again for the quick response.
Sarah
I hope you enjoy! 🙂
