Is autumn awakening your inner baking fairy? if yes, same.
The moment the temperatures drop just a few degrees and one leaf in the yard turns red, we want to start whipping up every pumpkin-flavored muffin and fall quick bread recipe we can find.
But let’s face it: When it comes to nutritional value, some muffins are basically just cupcakes without frosting. Which is not a not good not at all, except that sometimes you want to reach for something that is healthier.

Please enter Blueberry bread recipe from The Delicious Plate.
This simple, no-knead recipe is easy to make, even for those of us who didn’t grow up in a little house on the prairie. And it contains a ridiculous amount of blueberries, aka nature’s little powerhouses. Blueberries contain two very important flavonoid compounds: anthocyanins and antioxidants.
Anthocyanins are anti-inflammatory and are believed to promote better mental performance. Anthocyanins support cognition by promoting the growth of nerve cells and increasing blood flow to the brain.
Antioxidants also offer anti-inflammatory properties and also protect you from free radicals (and in turn, hopefully help ward off cancer and heart disease).
But this blueberry bread recipe elevates and concentrates the healthful properties of the humble blueberry by including a mix of superfood berries.

It also contains black goji extract and monk fruit extracts, which are there to add sweetness while still preserving your blood sugar is stable.
As promised, you don’t have to leaven this bread, you do do it must be left to rise overnight. Simply mix the yeast, water and berry mixture with the flour and salt.
