I loved this recipe but left out the nuts.(had too many problems with nut shells in baked goods)..but I too, added 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the batter, and also added 1 tsp nutmeg to the batter. Then I took a mixture of 1/3 cup brown sugar 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/8 tsp nutmeg and sprinkled it over the top of the batter before baking...Came out perfect....Overall it is a very good recipe.

We loved this loaf. It is so easy to put together and so moist. I used chopped almonds because I always have them on hand. Thanks Kree for a great recipe.

I made this to freeze for a later date. It froze very well and the bread was pretty moist and had a good flavor, even though I think it could use a little vanilla. I think it sitting for 20 minutes before baking is why all the blueberries sank to the bottom. It still tasted good though! I used eggs and walnuts. Thanks for posting!
