R loves blueberries. He would probably eat at least a pint or two at one sitting if I didn't stop him.
R also loves lemonade. So I guess I developed this recipe to suit R, but G loves it too, and on the spectrum of muffins or bread, this one is quite healthy. It has blueberries, whole wheat flour and is reduced fat, but don't tell R and G about the healthfulness, they just eat it because they love it.
Blueberry Lemonade Bread
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
4 egg whites
3/4 cup skim milk
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons applesauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup fresh blueberries, rinsed and patted dry
zest of one lemon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix brown sugar, sugar, egg whites, skim milk, lemon juice, applesauce, oil and vanilla, stirring well to incorporate.
In a separate bowl, mix your flours, salt and baking powder. Fold into the sugar mixture, until just combined (over-mixing will result in a tough dough).
Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest to the dough.
Lightly grease two 9x5 loaf pans. Pour half of the batter into each pan.
Bake 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Makes 2 loaves, 12 slices each.
Looks pretty tasty, eh?
