• Salt: Enhances the overall flavor of the bread, drawing out the natural sweetness of the blueberries and adding depth to every bite.
• Eggs: Bind the ingredients together, adding richness and moisture to the bread, ensuring a tender texture throughout.

How to Make Air Fryer Blueberry Quick Bread

Making Blueberry Quick Bread in an air fryer is a fantastic way to enjoy this beloved treat with the added convenience and efficiency of air frying. Here’s a simple guide to creating a moist, flavorful loaf brimming with juicy blueberries.

 

Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the egg, milk, and vegetable oil. Mix well.

 

Fold in the blueberries. Pour the batter into a greased air fryer-safe pan. Set the pan into the air fryer and set the temperature to 320 degrees F for 20 minutes.

When the time is up, place a toothpick in the loaf and check to see that the toothpick comes out clean. If not, add another 5 minutes.

NOTE: The exact time will depend on your air fryer model and the pans you are using. I highly recommend using mini loaf pans as they do better in the air fryer than larger ones. You will often find the middle not cooking when using the larger loaf pans.

 

Pro Tips

Can I use any type of blueberries for this bread? Yes, you can use both fresh and frozen blueberries. If using frozen, there’s no need to thaw them before adding to the batter to avoid discoloring the dough.

How do I prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom? Toss the blueberries lightly in flour before folding them into the batter. This helps create a slight coating that prevents them from sinking during baking.

Can I make this bread gluten-free? Absolutely! Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend designed for baking. Be sure to check that the blend is a 1:1 replacement and that other ingredients used are also gluten-free.

How can I tell when the bread is fully baked? Insert a toothpick or a cake tester into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached, the bread is done. The top should be golden brown and spring back when lightly touched.

Can I add other ingredients to the bread? Definitely! Consider adding lemon zest for a lemon-blueberry version, nuts for added crunch, or white chocolate chips for extra sweetness. Customize the bread to your liking.

What if I don’t have an air fryer? This recipe can be adapted for a conventional oven. Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

How should I store leftover quick bread? Wrap the cooled bread tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store it at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate it for up to a week or freeze it for up to 3 months.

Can I double this recipe? Yes, you can double the recipe if you need more bread. However, bake each loaf separately to ensure even cooking, especially if using an air fryer.

Why did my bread come out dry? Overbaking is a common reason for dry bread. Start checking for doneness a few minutes before the recipe’s suggested time. Also, ensure accurate measurements, especially for the flour and liquid ingredients.

Can I use this batter to make muffins? Yes, this batter works well for making blueberry muffins. Adjust the cooking time accordingly, as muffins will bake faster than a loaf of bread.

How can I make the bread moister? Ensure not to overbake and consider adding a bit more oil or an extra egg if the batter seems too thick. Ingredients like sour cream or yogurt can also enhance moisture.

Is it possible to reduce the sugar in this recipe? Yes, you can reduce the sugar according to your taste preference. Keep in mind that it may slightly alter the final flavor and texture of the bread.
