Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon non-alcoholic vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups blueberries fresh or frozen (if using frozen, do not thaw)
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)

Equipment

  • 9×13-inch baking dish or similar
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, then add the buttermilk, melted butter, and non-alcoholic vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 1¼ cups of the blueberries, reserving ¼ cup to scatter on top.
  6. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish and top with the reserved blueberries. If using, sprinkle the coarse sugar evenly over the top for a crunchy finish.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs. The top should appear golden and slightly crackled.
  8. Allow the bake to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
