Blueberry Icecream Bread
My attention was firstly cought by the name of this bread and even more when I had a look through the recipe..Honestly, with only three ingredients to make a batter didn't really make me convinced that it's gonna turn out to be something terrific. However, I was eager to find out if my doubt was gonna be right or wrong, so nothing's better than making it by myself !
Once the batter was done..it didn't look promising to me at all and I began to hesitate whether I should give up or go ahead.. but there's nothing more to lose..except another hour in the oven..so why bother to have a second thought ??
Only half way through the baking time, the bread already gave out an unbelievably nice smell until I had to walk into the kitchen to have a look. To my surprise, the bread had risen beautifully and looked now much better than before it's sent into the oven! I then became excited and couldn't wait to see the final outcome..
I must say that not only this is the oddest bread I've ever made but also it's unexpectedly the best quick bread I've ever eaten..given only five ingredients called for plus a very easy preparation! Try it yourself and you won't be disappointed..I guarantee!
The recipe ( slightly adapted from here. )
A pint of icecream ( I used Dreyer's blueberry cheescake )
11/2 cups self-raising flour

some granola to sprinkle

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and line an 8 x 4 bread pan with parchment paper.

3. Pour batter into pan and spread out evenly. Sprinkle with the remaining blueberries and granola over the top of the bread. Bake for 50-55 minutes until top is golden brown. Cool on wirerack before slicing and serve.
