Can I use Frozen Blueberries in Quick Bread?
This recipe is originally written with fresh blueberries, but you can use frozen blueberries, too.
If you use frozen blueberries, do not let them thaw first. Use them straight from the freezer. If you let them thaw, they will have too much water and the color will bleed.
Instead of mixing the blueberries together with the dry ingredients, as you would with fresh blueberries, carefully fold the frozen blueberries into the batter after the wet ingredients have been incorporated.
Keep in mind frozen blueberries do tend to bleed into the batter a bit more, so if you have the option to use fresh that would be my suggestion if possible.
How to Store Gluten Free Blueberry Muffin Bread
You can store this blueberry muffin bread at room temperature for up to 3 days. Just cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
You can also freeze this bread, either sliced or whole, for up to 3 months in a freezer safe bag.
I love to make a double batch of this recipe and freeze one for later! It also makes a great gift for new moms.
