Blueberry Oatmeal Bread

I am a huge fan of quick and easy breads like this blueberry oatmeal bread! They are simple; you mix everything up and pour it into the pan and bake it. In addition for those of you are healthy conscious, the fact that this blueberry oatmeal bread has blueberries, Greek yogurt and oatmeal all in one tasty surprise is awesome. I have even substituted the regular flour for whole-wheat and it still tastes great!

Finally this is a recipe that you can throw together last minute as long as you have all of the ingredients. The best part is while this is baking and making your house smell delicious you have to do other things in the kitchen or even to do a little cleaning.

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly butter and dust with flour.
