Print Recipe

A simple and delicious Blackberry Quick Bread that’s perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120 ml) buttermilk (or regular milk mixed with 1 teaspoon lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (about 225 g) fresh or frozen blackberries (toss frozen berries in flour to prevent sinking)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch (23×13 cm) loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix gently after each addition; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the blackberries and optional lemon zest, being careful not to break the berries.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil halfway through if the top browns too quickly.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Serve with butter, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream. Pairs well with coffee or tea.
