Spray or grease and flour a 9-by 5-inch loaf pan.<\/p>\n<p>Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl until thoroughly combined, at least 30 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Scatter the butter cubes over the flour mixture and the rub butter into the flour using your fingers, or cut the butter into the flour with a pastry blender, two knives,\nor two forks, until the mixture becomes fine crumbs. Toss 1\/2 cup of the nuts into the flour mixture. Make a well in the center of the flour.<\/p>\n<p>Whisk the eggs lightly in a medium bowl and whisk in the milk and vanilla.

Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.<\/p>\n<p>Scoop the batter into the prepared pan and top with the remaining 1\/4 cup nuts. Bake for about 1 hour 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (avoiding a blueberry).<\/p>\n<p>Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the bread and transfer to a wire rack to cool.<\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<p class=\"author-credit\">Excerpted from <a href=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/spring-summer-2022\/bookshelf-spring-summer-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Blueberry Love<\/a> (c) by Cynthia Graubart, photography (c) by Keller + Keller Photography, used with permission from Storey Publishing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"back-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/spring-summer-2022\/find-your-thrill-on-blueberry-hill-and-strawberry-fields-forever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Back to Food Article<\/a><\/p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View recipe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":12504,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,157],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12500","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe","category-spring-summer-2022-recipe"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12500","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12500"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12500\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13688,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12500\/revisions\/13688"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12504"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
