Blueberry Orange Bread
Easy to make, one bowl quick bread, this Blueberry Orange Bread is full of flavor, bursting with fresh blueberries and has less sugar too!
As we long for Spring to arrive, we still have plenty of chilly days here in Indiana. Baseball season started last weekend, so the car is stocked with plenty of blankets and extra sweatshirts. We even bought a portable heater to use this year. I’m not really sure why we haven’t bought one before this. You would think after 18 years of going to games, we would have thought about it sooner.
There are some quick breads that are moist, and some that are dense. This Blueberry Orange Bread is full of flavor, but it’s definitely a dense bread. It reminds me a bit of Irish Soda Bread.
This bread though is made with Truvia Baking Blend. Truvia Baking Blend is a sugar substitute blend of zero-calorie Truvia natural sweetener and sugar then packaged in a product that’s designed for easy, at-home baking. It also can be substituted for sugar in any recipe by simply using half as much Truvia Baking Blend as you would sugar.

hey nice tutorial.
Thank you for sharing nice recipe. It looks so yummy and tasty
I am not sure if I did this wrong, but you state to pour (#6) into pan, but there was no pouring for me. It was very crumbly and I was not able to fold berries in. I triple checked before adding dry and wet together. Was it suppose to be crumby? It came out looking like drop biscuits, but in mini loafs quite beautiful actually.
Thanks for stopping by! I’m sorry you had trouble with the recipe. Did it taste okay?
I used the Grand Marinier and it was delicious!! I used just under a tablespoon. Great result!! (I made 4 mini loaves.)
Do you think Grand Mariner could be substituted for the oj concentrate???
I’ve never used it, but you could certainly try it. Let us know how it turns out, Cassie.
This sounds great. Do you think it would work with lemon juice?
If you like lemon and blueberry flavors together, you could certainly try it. However, with the amount of juice, 3/4 cup, it might be a little tart.
Let us know how it turns out.

Could I use frozen blueberries?
Yes, frozen blueberries are fine Suzanne.
I love blueberries! I have a blueberry muffin recipe that I love to make, and eat!

Thanks for stopping by Maris! I agree, it’s really hard not too eat the whole loaf.

Hi! What a wonderful and easy recipe! I am looking forward to making it this coming week for my family and my daughter’s teachers. How many, would you say, mini loaf pans can be used with this recipe? I am trying to plan enough for us and two teachers. Thanks so much! Love your info and I appreciate you sharing!
You can get 3 mini loaves out of 1 recipe. Lucky teachers 🙂
