Whole Wheat Blueberry Bread

Sometimes, a girl's gotta bake.

I love blueberries...as long as they are IN something. Blueberry muffins, blueberries in a salad, great. Blueberries alone? Not so much.

This bread is fantastic because it's not overly sweet, which I like. Plus, it's whole wheat, which means it's completely healthy for you :)

Here's what you need (from How Sweet Eats)...

2 1/2 cups of whole wheat pastry flour*
1 cup of all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp of baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
2/3 cup of brown sugar
1/4 cup of granulated sugar
2 tsp of vanilla
2/3 cup of milk
1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups of fresh blueberries, coated lightly in cornstarch

*I found whole wheat pastry flour at Whole Foods, but regular whole wheat flour works fine, your bread will just be a bit more dense.

What you need for the "streusel"...

1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup of all purpose flour
1/4 tsp of cinnamon
pinch of salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tbsp milk

Here's what you do....
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine pastry flour, all purpose flour, baking soda and powder, cinnamon in salt in a bowl and set aside.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, both sugars, vanilla and milk.
4. Slowly add to your dry ingredients, stirring to combine.
5. Add butter. Your mixture will NOT be like a a cake batter - it's going to be relatively loose. Don't panic! Use your hands to bring it together as best you can.

6. Finally, gently stir in your blueberries.
7. Pat into a 9x5 bread pan.

8. To make your streusel, combine all ingredients in a bowl and bring together with your hands or a spoon. Both times I have made this my streusel turns out more like an icing (I think it's supposed to be more powdery), which is fine. Just spread it on top of your bread - it will give it a nice, sweet crunch.
9. Bake bread for an hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

10. Enjoy!

I plan to snack on this all weekend! Hope you all have a great one :)
