Blueberry Oatmeal Bread

Hello all– Here’s another way to get your morning oatmeal.  Bake it up with some blueberries and pecans.  It was good hot from the oven, but I liked it best the next day toasted crispy around the edges in the toaster oven— slathered with honey and served up with  a mug of Lady Grey Tea.  Hot toasty oatmeal–a warming breakfast!

BLUEBERRY OATMEAL BREAD
1 cup blueberries
1 cup oats
1 1/2 cups flour, plus 1 tablespoon
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup Greek yogurt
2 eggs
½ cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup pecans (I actually put in a whole cup because I love pecans!)

In a small bowl, mix the blueberries with 1 tab. of flour to keep them from sinking in the batter.  Then in a large bowl, stir together the oats, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.  Next mix in the yogurt, eggs, canola oil, vanilla and pecans.  Finally, gently fold in the blueberries.   Spoon the batter into a 9″x 5″ loaf pan (or two smaller pans) sprayed with cooking spray.     Cook at 375 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes until the top is golden brown and firm to the touch.
