Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
Mixing

  2. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined to avoid over-mixing.
  4. Gently fold in the blueberries to keep them intact.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  2. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
