There’s just something about the flavor of gingerbread and a hot cup of tea that makes me feel all warm and cozy.

It’s the essence of the holiday season, and tea and gingerbread go so well together!

I’ve shared before that gingerbread cookies reminds me of my Grandma, as she always made them every Christmas. My brothers, cousins and I would always get together to decorate the finished cookies, and it still holds a very special place in my heart.

This Blueberry Gingerbread Loaf is soft, moist, and loaded with fresh blueberries and cozy spices. Easy to make and bursting with the flavors of the season, this bread makes a delicious breakfast or dessert for your hungry house guests!

But a gingerbread loaf? That’s something that I’ve never had before, up until recently, that is.

And you all know how much I adore blueberries, so it was practically a no-brainer for me to add them into this Blueberry Gingerbread Loaf. But, I can’t take all of the credit. I was inspired to create this sweet treat from my love of hoarding magazines, specifically Better Homes and Gardens Fall Baking edition.

And you know what goes perfectly with this Blueberry Gingerbread Loaf? And what could be better than a slice (or three) of this bread, along with a steaming mug of tea for breakfast or dessert to warm you up on a chilly winter day?

Like most of my recipes, this loaf is a breeze to whip up. With just about 10 minutes of prep time, you can have this dish ready to be devoured in less than an hour. And anything that is ready in less than an hour is a winner in my book!

So grab a slice of this Blueberry Gingerbread Loaf, a hot cup of coffee or tea, and enjoy the warmth of the holiday season!

    I love these teas! I bought the the seasonal sampler and I'm currently sipping on the gingerbread spice as I type! The peppermint candy cane is my favorite post-dinner beverage. Now I just need to make some blueberry gingerbread to have on the side!

    Memories are such a wonderful thing. Funny how something so simple has such an impact and sticks with you like baking gingerbread and your grandma. So sweet. This brand of tea is delicious! I never would have thought to put the combination of gingerbread and blueberries together, but it sounds wonderful! Plus, it looks super moist! I've done a bunch of holiday baking this past weekend and still some more to go. I'm going to have to add this one to my list :) Pinned, of course! Happy Monday!
