Blueberry Oatmeal Bread

Who doesn't love blueberry flavored baked goods?

I've come up with a healthier version of your favorite blueberry muffin that will knock your socks off! I made it as a bread, but the dough can easily be plopped into cupcake wrappers in case you're not willing to venture outside the box when it comes to the shape of your dessert.

As always, here's how to do it...

Ingredients:

1/2 cup plain non-fat yogurt

2/3 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup milk

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 eggs

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 cup oats

3 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

A pinch salt

1 cup fresh blueberries

What to do...

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.

2. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In large bowl, combine flour, rolled oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt; mix well.

3. In small bowl, mix milk, oil, vanilla, yogurt, lemon and eggs. Add to dry ingredients; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened.


4. Add the blueberries. Pour into pan.

5. Bake at 350 for 45 to 55 minutes or slightly browned. When completely cool, remove the bread from the pan.

Tadaa! 

And if you want, you can add melted icing and make it like a hot crossed bun type thing! But then it's not as healthy.

Eat up!
