When I first made this Blueberry Yogurt Breakfast Loaf, I was blown away by how moist and flavorful it turned out. Using yogurt not only enhances the flavor but keeps the bread soft and tender. I experimented with using fresh and frozen blueberries, and I found that both worked wonderfully, though fresh berries added a slight burst of juiciness that I loved.
One key tip I discovered is to fold the blueberries into the batter gently to prevent them from breaking apart too much. This ensures that your loaf has beautiful bursts of color and sweetness throughout. It's a great way to enjoy a classic breakfast treat with a little twist!
