This blueberry bread is perfectly sweet, light, and moist and bursting with juicy blueberries! Perfect for a make-ahead breakfast and works great as a dessert too!
Preheat the oven to 375° F and line the center (see loaf pan picture above with batter in it and parchment lined through the center) of a 9X5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
First start by mixing the non-dairy milk and ACV in a small bowl and set aside.
Next measure the butter using the “dry cup method” (see notes below) and then melt it in a large bowl in the microwave in 10 second intervals.
To the same bowl with melted butter add the sugar, apple sauce, vanilla and milk/ACV mixture and whisk together.
Add the flour, baking powder and salt to a separate bowl and whisk the dry ingredients together.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and using a spatula fold the mixture together. (avoid over mixing, fold about 20-30 times until lumpy but you don’t see any dry flour spots)
Toss the blueberries in some flour and then gently fold the blueberries into the batter. (reserve a couple for the top)
Pour the batter into the loaf pan, top with the couple extra blueberries and a sprinkle of sugar.
Place in the oven on the middle shelf for 55 minutes until slightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes
Don’t over mix: Over mixing the batter can cause the bread to become too dense and tough. About 20-30 folds with a spatula should be sufficient. The batter should be slightly bubbly and airy and a little lumpy.
Drain the blueberries: After washing your fresh blueberries, be sure to thoroughly drain them before adding them to the batter. You don’t want to add extra water to your bread mix.
Gently fold in the blueberries: You want to fold the blueberries into the batter as gently as possible to reduce blue streaking in your baked bread.
Use the dry cup method to measure the butter: Add the butter to a dry measuring cup and pack down firmly. Smooth the top of the butter and then scoop it into a microwave-safe bowl to melt it.
Place on the middle shelf! if you put it on the top shelf the top will get burned and the bottom shelf will result in a hard burnt bottom.
