If you’ve never made a blueberry quick bread recipe before, you’re going to absolutely love it!
This blueberry quick bread is slightly sweet and perfectly soft and moist. It’s delicious on its own, or paired with yogurt or nut butter!
Plus, isn’t it so cool to sneak fruits AND veggies into a quick bread recipe?
Not that you have to be doing that, but when you need healthy snacks for picky toddlers, every bit help
This blueberry sweetpotato quick bread recipe is great for any of your fall gatherings and holidays, or just a back to school snack!

This is certainly one of my favorite healthy Thanksgiving snacks!
Making this healthy blueberry quick bread was actually quite the dreamy challenge for me because I love sweetpotatoes and blueberries together – point in case, this sweetpotato oatmeal bake is a delight.
I’ve written about them both as recovery foods after a workout, but also, just as necessities to keep on hand.
I buy the large bag of frozen blueberries from Costco and use them as toppings on oatmeal, yogurt, salads and the best greek yogurt smoothies.
Why You’ll Love This Blueberry Quick Bread Recipe
- Full of antioxidants – Having BOTH wild blueberries and sweetpotatoes in one recipe makes this blueberry quick bread bursting with antioxidants, which can help manage oxidants in the body. In terms of wild blueberries, they have double the antioxidant capacity of larger cultivated blueberries, as well as more manganese, fiber and less sugar.
- Ready in under an hour – There’s no need to wait for the yeast to rise – this blueberry bread loaf recipe is ready in under an hour, makes the kitchen smell great, and offers a Vitamin-C and fiber-rich snack.
- Great snack or breakfast – We absolutely love a piece of this blueberry quick bread recipe for breakfast slathered with some peanut butter or paired with a smoothie!
- Easy to freeze – Any quick breads or muffins that can be frozen for later are some of my favorite snack items – make the most of your time and bake two loaves at once! You can freeze individual slices in stasher bags, or freeze the whole loaf (I recommend cutting it beforehand because once it’s frozen it will be difficult to cut into slices) in a freezer-safe ziplock bag.
I’ve been wanting to incorporate sweetpotatoes into bread for a long time. I think I thought it up on a long run, actually, where I was of course, thinking about carbs and refueling.
Sweet potatoes are very similar to pumpkin, and who doesn’t love pumpkin bread?
With the cooler weather, it’s almost a necessity to have a warmed slice of this healthy sweetpotaot bread recipe, slathered with butter, cranberry sauce or even peanut butter.

Ingredients
Here’s what you need for your delicious berry quickbread!
- sweetpotatoes – cooked and mashed
- blueberries (Fresh or frozen) – I used wild blueberries, and I love the perfect balance of light sweetness and subtle tartness.
- egg
- coconut oil or butter
- greek yogurt
- whole wheat flour
- maple syrup or honey

- cinnamon
- baking powder

How To Make Blueberry Quick Bread
First, you’ll preheat the oven to 350 and grease your 9×5 inch loaf pan.
Add your wet ingredients (egg, sweetpotato, coconut oil, greek yogurt, maple syrup) to a medium mixing bowl.
Add your dry ingredients to a separate large mixing bowl (flour, oat flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and baking powder).
Mix the dry into the wet ingredients until a thick batter is formed. And then, bake for 45-50 minutes!

This sweetpotato blueberry bread is healthy, perfectly moist, and flavorful and is a great way to sneak extra fiber in for the kiddos.
You can cut them up in kiddie size portions and throw them in lunch boxes or pack them for before/after sports games and practices.
To store, let it cool completely and then store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months!

Thank you for joining us for Meatless Monday!
I love this combo! Super creative thanks for joining us for meatless Monday today
Love these little bites – so cute and pretty. and of course delicious!
Wow this looks DELISH, My favorite bread is pumpkin bread and this reminds me of that by its color. YUM!
Is it hard to find coconut sugar? I’ve never heard of it. Also with the coconut oil in the recipe, does it have that flavor in the bread? Would love to try this but I really don’t like coconut.
Hi Bridget! It really doesn’t taste like coconut at all, but you could definitely use butter instead of coconut oil. You can order coconut sugar off of amazon, but I think they also have it in most major grocery chains in the baking aisle. You could substitute it with cane sugar or brown sugar as well!
Making a GF version of this STAT! I LOVE blueberries and sweet potatoes <3
Yay! I hope you love it!
I LOVE sweet potatoes and I LOVE blueberries so this sounds amazing!
It’s perfect for us sweet potato and blueberry lovers!
Looks delish! And I pretty much have all the ingredients in my cupboard 🙂
You should definitely make it, Myra!
This is SUCH an original recipe, I love the idea!!! Wild blueberries are also the bomb, I’m quite excited to be seeing all these blueberry recipes!!
They are pretty amazing!
OOH! This looks SO SO Good. I didn’t know that difference between wild and normal blueberries. I would love to find these at Costco and make your bread.
I hope you do, Emily!
This looks SO GOOD! I always add frozen fruit to breads and recipes as they’re picked and frozen at the perfect time so they’re always full of flavour!
They work so well!
OH MY GOD. THIIIIIIIIIS is everything
YES IT IS!!
I’ve never made sweet potato quick bread and to pair with wild blueberries – YUM!
It was a happy day!
I had no idea there was a difference between Wild and Regular Blueberries! And I love your tip of buying a frozen bag. I usually buy fresh and am so disappointed if they go bad within a few days. And sweet potato in bread, I NEED to try this! Pinned for brunch one weekend or for the holidays 😉
Frozen are lifesavers and last forever! I hope you like it, Patricia!
This sounds SOOOOOO delicious! I love cooking with sweet potato and blueberries independently of each other–this needs to happen. Happy marriage, right there!
It sure is a happy marriage!
Wow! This flavor combo sounds heavenly! And one I have never thought of before. I have yet to do any baking this season. I am hoping that I will be more in the mood once we finally get some cooler weather in Florida.
It’s a great combo. Hope you try it once the weather cools, Sarah! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
My gosh this looks GOOD. I’m currently making my list of recipes to make for Thanksgiving and definitely adding this. I never thought of putting sweet potatoes in bread – so creative!
Hope you like it, Megan!
So happy I have sweet potatoes! This looks to be great with coffee!
It is EXCELLENT with coffee! 🙂
Oh Sarah you totally win with this one. Sweet potato and blueberries!? Are there any two better things to combine in baking? I don’t think so.
I had no idea there would actually be that much different between wild and cultivated blueberries, especially in the actual fiber/manganese/sugar content. That’s fascination. Thank goodness for freezing! Pinned and excited to make.
It’s amazing to think about the nutritional differences and how growing wild can make such a difference! Hope you love this one, Cora!
Wow this looks amazing! I’ll have to try it with GF cup for cup instead of whole wheat flour. I love that you used sweet potato!
Let me know how it turns out with GF flour! I hope you love it!
