One of Iain's favorite snacks is the blueberry loaf from Starbucks... so he asked if I could make him one.. uh.. ah... well... why not? I can try to come close, I guess!
So, I grabbed some Krusteaz Wild Blueberry Supreme Muffin Mix and saw the recipe on the back for Orange Blueberry Quick Bread and thought we'd start there!
Here's the details:
PREHEAT oven to 350F. Spray 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. Prepare batter as directed on box, adding 2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest. Place into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
COOL for 10 minutes and remove to wire rack. Cool completely and drizzle with vanilla glaze if desired. Store in airtight container.
Vanilla Glaze: Whisk together 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon water and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth.
Again, I can't do anything the way the recipe tells me to! So, instead of their Vanilla Glaze, I used a trick that my Mom taught me.. I poured a little bit of powdered sugar into a bowl and added some Vanilla flavored coffee creamer and mixed.. if it's too runny, add more powdered sugar, if it's too thick, add more creamer, until you get the consisitancy you want. Yummy!
And the verdict is... "It's great!"
