Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Fresh orange juice
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
• 0.5 cups Coarsely chopped hazelnuts
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the orange zest to the dry ingredients and stir to evenly distribute the zest.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Let it cool slightly.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, orange juice, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

In a separate small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking in the batter.

Step 8

Gently fold in the floured blueberries and chopped hazelnuts into the batter using a spatula.

Step 9

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 11

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 12

Serve the bread as is or lightly toasted with butter. Enjoy!
