Can this recipe be made Pareve? Any ideas?
You can use soy milk to make it pareve (some of the refrigerated soy milks are dairy but the shelf stable soy milk is pareve).
Is the 1/4 cup sugar that is mixed with lemon juice, regular sugar or confectionare sugar?
I made this for Shabbat and it was very tasty, however, all the blueberries sank to the bottom of the loaf : ( Next time, I’ll try coating the blueberries with a small amount of flour and hopefully they won’t all sink to the bottom of the loaf pan.
I made this recipe using margarine and soy milk and it was delicious!
Does this recipe freeze well? Do the blueberries make it soggy when it defrosts?
As long as you freeze it when it is fully cooled, wrap it well in plastic and defrost it in the fridge and not on the counter, it will be good.
Will these work well as muffins?
Yes!
