Blueberry Citrus Bread

Our Blueberry Citrus Bread bursts with juicy blueberries and zesty citrus flavor. Although technically classified as a quick bread, it is dense, sweet, and moist enough to be considered a cake. We baked it over fragrant maple wood and even added a glaze for a thin layer of sweetness to satisfy your sweet tooth. All names aside, this dessert loaf makes a vibrant addition to breakfast, lunch, dinner, and the best midnight snack.

BLUEBERRY CITRUS BREAD

DIFFICULTY: 1/5
PREP TIME: 15 minutes
COOK TIME: 1 hour
RECOMMENDED PELLETS: Pecan, Maple, Apple
SERVES: 6-8

INGREDIENTS

2 cups All-Purpose Flour + 1 Tbsp., divided
2 tsp. Baking Powder
½ tsp. Salt
½ cup. Canola Oil
2 tsp. Bourbon Vanilla
2 large Eggs
1 cup granulated Sugar
1 cup Sour Cream
Zest & Juice of 1 Lemon
1 cup Blueberries

Citrus Glaze:

¾ cup confectioners Sugar
1-2 Tbsp. Orange Juice
1 Tbsp. Orange Zest

METHOD

• When ready to cook, start your Traeger on Smoke with the lid open or until the fire is established (4-5 minutes). Set the temperature to 350°F and preheat, lid closed (10-15 minutes).
• Spray a 9x5 loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside. In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 Tbsp. of flour and set aside (this keeps the blueberries from sinking). In a large bowl, whisk together remaining flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the oil, bourbon vanilla, eggs, sugar, sour cream, lemon zest and juice. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until smooth, making sure not to over mix your batter. Lightly fold in the blueberries.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, place in the center of the Traeger and bake at 350°F for 50-60 minutes, or until you can insert a toothpick into the center and it comes out clean. Remove from the grill and cool for 10 minutes, then remove loaf from the pan to a wire rack and cool completely.
• While the bread cools, whisk together ingredients for the citrus glaze. Use a spoon to drizzle the glaze over the bread. Allow the glaze to harden (about 10-15 minutes). Slice, serve, and enjoy!
