Dry Ingredients: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and kosher salt Wet Ingredients: buttermilk, egg, vegetable oil, vanilla extract Blackberries: Use fresh or frozen, but if you use frozen thaw them out completely and pat dry. The sweeter the blackberries, the better! This is a great recipe to make when blackberries are ripe and in-season! Icing: powdered sugar, vanilla extract, milk
What If You Don’t Have Buttermilk
If you don’t have buttermilk, it’s not problem. Here are some alternatives:
Make your own! I have a quick and easy “recipe” to make homemade buttermilk. Use yogurt. Just thin it out slightly with water or milk. Use sour cream thinned with water or milk.
How To Make Blackberry Bread
This is an extra easy recipe to make with no mixer required, just a few bowls! It’s basically 4 steps:
Whisk together the dry ingredients, the flour, sugar, baking soda, and kosher salt. In another bowl mix together the wet ingredients: the buttermilk, oil, egg, and vanilla.
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry until smooth and then fold in the berries. Pour the batter into a 9×5 loaf pan and bake at 350°F for an hour until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow it to cool and then mix up your icing and drizzle on top!
Variations
Add in any fresh berries you prefer. This recipe works perfectly with raspberries or blueberries! Mix in some lemon zest. The tartness of the lemon zest pairs easily with the fresh berries. Lime or orange zest would work too! Add in some nuts. If you love nuts in your bread some walnuts would work great! Swap out the vanilla extract for almond extract.
