Blueberry Quick Bread with Vanilla Sauce

Yummy treat!  My kids all baked their own mini loaf and thought that was so fun.  Also, I don't do soggy, so I just pour the sauce on each slice right before eating.

Blueberry Quick Bread with Vanilla Sauce

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 50 min. + cooling YIELD: 8 servings (2 cups sauce).

Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• VANILLA SAUCE:
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup butter, cubed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

• 1. In a large bowl, beat the egg, milk and oil. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; gradually add to egg mixture, beating just until combined. Fold in blueberries.
• 2. Pour into a greased 9x5-in. loaf pan (Sometimes this doesn’t bake in the center, so you can pour some batter into a few mini pans and the rest in the big pan). Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
• 3. For sauce, combine sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Stir in cream until smooth; add butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in vanilla. Serve with blueberry bread.
  Freeze option: Securely wrap and freeze cooled loaf in plastic and foil. To use, thaw at room temperature. Prepare sauce as directed and serve with bread.
