Blueberry Bread

So I want to write about this latest “scientist finds we have no free will” thing, but more importantly I made blueberry bread!

A decorative photo of some yummy blueberry bread, which is sitting on a cutting board, and has had a couple of pieces sliced out from the center.

There are a couple of pieces missing there, for obvious reasons.

Here is the recipe! It’s based on this one, which includes tips and tricks and lifestyle advice and so on, like people who want to maintain copyright on their recipe pages are legally obliged to include, so be sure to go over and read it. I admit I chose it mostly because it looked really easy (no creaming together the butter and sugar!) and I had all the ingredients (especially that it required no more than one egg).

Easy Blueberry Bread With Just One Egg

1 1/2 Cups all-purpose flour
1/2 Cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 Cup milk (1% or what have you)
1/4 Cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 Cups blueberries

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Butter or PAM and lightly flour a smallish loaf pan, 8×4″ or so.
Mix the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt) in a large bowl. You can also just put them into the bowl and forget to mix them before doing the next step, and that is apparently okay, but I don’t really recommend it.
Stir the liquid ingredients (milk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract) into the flour mixture until just blended.
Fold in blueberries.
Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan, and bake for about an hour (I know, that’s a long time!), until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan as long as you can stand, then remove and slice and eat.

It’s very nice! The original recipe calls for sprinkling a tablespoon of sugar over the batter before putting it into the oven, and I did that, but if I made it again I think I wouldn’t; the recipe already has plenty of sweetness.

Later I might write about free will and stuff. :)

P.S. Of course I asked the AI Assistant about this post! Its main suggestion was to separate the thing about free will and the recipe part into two separate posts, about which lol. But it did remind me to set some alt and/or title text for the image (I think it actually said “caption” but hey), and that’s good.
