Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently. Be careful not to overmix. Finally, fold in the blueberries.
Pour the batter into a greased bread pan. Bake it in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center.
If it comes out clean, the bread is ready. If not, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on it toward the end of the baking time to avoid overcooking.

Cooling and Storage Tips
Once out of the oven, let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps prevent sogginess.
When stored, keep the bread wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container. It will stay fresh for about 3 to 4 days at room temperature.
