Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes you can use frozen berries instead of fresh, and of course there is no need to thaw them, just add them frozen.

Why toss berries with flour?

Tossing fresh or frozen berries with a little flour keeps the berries from sinking to the bottom of the pan, it also works with nuts and chocolate chips too.

What makes a quick loaf moist?

Adding yogurt to a baked good adds moisture and fat to the batter which results in a moist quick bread or even a cake. Also using oil instead of butter helps add moisture. This way you will never have a dry cake or quick bread but a delicious one!

What does mix just to combine mean?

When you over mix quick bread or muffin batter you will end up with a tough baked good, so the best thing to do is to stir just until the flour is wet. Don’t worry about small batter lumps, they really do disappear when baked. And you will have a soft, delicious loaf. When adding berries, gently fold a few times into the batter.

Why add baking soda?

Baking soda is used to neutralize the acids in a recipe and to add tenderness and a little leavening. Recipes that include anything acidic such as yogurt, sour cream, buttermilk and brown sugar to name a few. When baking soda is combined with an acid and a liquid it starts to work, therefore be sure to bake it immediately and don’t leave it to sit.

Can I make muffins instead of a loaf?

With this recipe you can certainly bake it in a medium muffin tin, be sure to fill the tins almost to the top and sprinkle with the topping. Bake for about 18-25 minutes or until the tooth pick comes out clean.
