How to Make Blueberry Orange Nut Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs.
  4. Add the eggs to the dry ingredients. Add 1 cup (2 sticks) melted unsalted butter, 1 cup milk, and 1/2 cup orange juice. Mix until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries and 1 cup chopped walnuts.
  6. Divide batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (Start checking at 50 minutes).
  8. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, wrap and store in the refrigerator for optimal freshness.
