Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (for topping)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Prepare a 12 x 7 baking dish by greasing and flouring it, ensuring the gingerbread doesn’t stick.

  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the oil, 1 cup of sugar, salt, and molasses until well combined and slightly fluffy.

  3. Incorporate eggs: Add the eggs to the sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.

  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and baking soda. Mix well.

  5. Dredge blueberries: Take 2 tablespoons of the flour mixture and dredge both the fresh and frozen blueberries. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the gingerbread during baking.

  6. Alternate additions: Gradually add the remaining flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Beat well after each addition until the batter is smooth and well combined.

  7. Fold in blueberries: Gently fold the dredged blueberries into the batter until evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix to avoid crushing the blueberries.

  8. Transfer to baking dish: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

  9. Sprinkle sugar topping: Sprinkle the top of the gingerbread batter with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. This adds a delightful crunchy sweetness to the finished gingerbread.

  10. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

  11. Serve: Once baked, remove the gingerbread from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm with a dollop of butter. For an extra indulgent treat, serve with whipped cream as a dessert option.

  12. Enjoy: Whether enjoyed as a cozy breakfast treat, a comforting dessert, or a delightful snack, this Blueberry Gingerbread is sure to delight your taste buds with its perfect balance of warm spices and juicy blueberries.
