Instructions
1-Preheat and Prep: Set oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease an 8Γ4-inch or 9Γ5-inch loaf pan. Choose based on your preferred loaf shape; smaller pans make taller loaves.

3-Add Leaveners and Spices: Stir in 2 teaspoons cinnamon, Β½ teaspoon baking soda, Β½ teaspoon baking powder, and Β½ teaspoon salt. Mix well.
4-Incorporate Flour: Add 1 Β½ cups all-purpose flour gradually. Stir until batter thickens.

6-Fold Blueberries: Gently fold in 1 cup fresh blueberries (or thawed, drained frozen) to avoid sinking or bursting.
