Blueberry Muffin Streusel Bread

Today blueberries are getting a cozy hug!

And if anyone deserves a hug, it’s blueberries because they’re filled with antioxidants and that’s something to love.  

So this bread.

Every once in a while I get a french toast craving and to satisfy that craving it means I need to make some kind of bread to french toast.  Yes, I could just buy a loaf of bread, but I really like baking up a sweet-ish loaf of bread and french toasting it.  I would say it is one of my favorite hobbies.

Right now it’s 9:25pm. Andrew is in the kitchen peeling an orange and he just said, “you know when you peel an orange and there are like baby orange segments in between the bigger segments? They’re so cute!” Gosh I love him and the wonderfully perfect things he says.

I asked if I could share this story on the blog and he didn’t answer…so I took that as a, “YES, wifey! That is fine!”

When making this bread, I started thinking, “if I was a blueberry bread, what exactly would I want to be?”  I decided I’d want to have extra blueberries and I wouldn’t even get out of bed unless I was adorned with a streusel topping.

So I gave this bread both of those things.

I also replaced some of the butter with applesauce, because it seemed like a way to add a bit more fruit to my life.  But if you wanna use all butter, I support that.  I was actually gonna use greek yogurt (not applesauce) in this recipe, but when I went to get the greek yogurt out of the fridge…there was none to be found.  Dairy products in our house just disappear.  

And I HAVE to tell you something.  I’m absolutely positive that Trader Joe’s milk is better than other grocery store’s milk.  I tried some last week and this week and it tastes like superior milk.  I wanna do a blind taste testing to see if this is just the I-love-everything-from-TJ’s effect OR if Trader Joe’s milk really is better.  It just tastes MORE milky.  We buy 2% milk and when I first tasted it I was sure we bought whole milk, which had me thinking, “what a happy accident.”  But it was 2%!  AND it tastes better than normal.  It really, really does.  I think I’m going crazy.

So for this recipe.  You should make it.  

Once you bake it, you slice it.  Then french toast it.  Then top it with peanut butter.  You really don’t need maple syrup or honey or powdered sugar as a french toast topping, because the bread is just so mega delicious on it’s own.

  1. Mmm that sounds like a delicious loaf! Love all the streusel on there–that’s the best part, IMHO :) Wish I had a slice with my morning coffee!

  2. The more blueberries the better!
    I love these kind of baked goods in the afternoon with some coffee.

  3. Pingback: sunday reading #12 - love me, feed me

  4. What do you think about chocolate chips/nuts as a sub for blueberries? It’s cold today in Minnesota and I’m in the mood for baking but def not in the mood for driving to the grocery store (or getting out of my pajamas). 

  5. I need this bread in my life ASAP. Yum!!

  6. I finally made this after having pinned it forever ago & it was such a hit – my dad loved it for breakfast, my niece asked for seconds at snack time, & I had it toasted & topped with vanilla ice cream for dessert. My to-do list for this weekend already includes making more!
