    What is Kefir?

    Kefir is a tart and tangy cultured milk. It is full of good for you probiotics and is high in calcium and protein. In this recipe, we are using kefir where you would normally use buttermilk. The consistency is a little thicker than buttermilk and gives this blueberry bread the tang and moisture for a fluffy inside crumb.

    Equipment You'll Need

    • Mixing Bowl
    • Measuring Spoons
    • Measuring Cups
    • 9x5 inch Loaf Pan
    • Wire Baking Rack

    How To Make Blueberry Kefir Bread

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a loaf pan with butter or cooking spray. Set that aside.

    Mix 1 tablespoon of flour into the blueberries. This will keep them from sinking to the bottom of the batter.

    Add the sugar and melted butter to a bowl. Mix well until fully combined.

    Cool the loaf on a wire rack.

    To make the icing, add 1 cup of powdered sugar to a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of blueberry kefir and mix until the desired consistency is reached. If you would like to icing thicker, add more powdered sugar. To thin out the icing, add more blueberry kefir.

    Tips and Tricks

    • Make sure the loaf pan is greased well. There is nothing worse than going through the hard work of making a loaf of bread and it sticking to the pan.
    • If the top of the loaf starts to burn too quickly, cover the pan with aluminum foil until the loaf is done baking.
    • This recipe makes one loaf, but you could separate this into mini loaves if you have small loaf pans, or you can double the recipe and make two loaves.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does blueberry kefir bread freeze well?

    Yes! This bread freezes beautifully. Allow the loaf to cool and then wrap it in plastic wrap. Place it in a Ziploc bag and freeze for up to 3 months.

    Can I make this loaf into muffins instead?

    Yes! If you prefer to make these into muffins, simply line a muffin tin with muffin liners, scoop the batter into the muffin tin and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean.

    Can I use frozen blueberries?

    Yes! I love using wild Maine blueberries in this recipe. A lot of times you can only find them frozen, and they work great! If you don't have fresh blueberries, frozen works great!

      Absolutely delicious. I've never had Blueberry Kefir either. It is delicious and enhances this bread perfectly. I had enough to make a mini loaf as well. A perfect breakfast bread. The icing is delicious, too. Thank you so much, Lynn, for sharing this delicious recipe.
