Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Blueberry Mojito Tea Bread.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). While it warms up, take a moment to grease and flour two 3x7-inch loaf pans, ensuring they’re ready for your delicious batter. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat pastry flour, salt, and baking powder. Set this aside for now; it’s the dry team waiting to join the party!
Step 2
In a large bowl, grab your electric mixer and beat together the eggs, white sugar, sucanat, grapeseed oil, half-and-half cream, rum flavored extract, vanilla extract, lime zest, and minced spearmint. Mix until everything is smooth and well combined, creating a delightful base for your bread.
Step 3
Now, gently stir in the flour mixture until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix; we want a tender loaf! Next, fold in those beautiful fresh blueberries, letting them mingle with the batter. Pour this vibrant mixture into your prepared loaf pans, filling them up evenly. To finish, sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar for a lovely crunch.
Step 4
Slide the pans into your preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen!
How to Serve
Serve slices of this Blueberry Mojito Tea Bread warm or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee, making it a perfect afternoon snack or a delightful breakfast treat. You can also add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness!
How to Store
To keep your Blueberry Mojito Tea Bread fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, consider wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap and placing it in the refrigerator, where it can last for up to a week. You can also freeze slices for up to 3 months; just thaw them at room temperature when you’re ready to enjoy!
