Easy lemon blueberry bread with a light glaze, perfect for breakfast or a sweet treat. This bread is full of lemon flavors and lightly sweetened. Any novice in the kitchen can whip this up!
WHY MAKE THIS RECIPE.
This bread has a tangy lemon glaze to go over the the top. It is made with two ingredients: more lemon juice and powdered sugar. When you let the bread completely cool and lightly brush it with the glaze it will harden just little bit and give the bread a more decedent look and texture.
The blueberries give it a beautiful pop of color so I recommend not skipping this part! I used frozen blueberries and they worked great.
Easy to make and allergy friendly!
I don't care what time of year it is, fresh lemon flavors and blueberries just pair so well together. Spring is the best time to start pulling out this recipe combo but as I mentioned — I like it year round. I have made this bread a few times for house warming gifts and it's always a great hit with the friends and family!
INGREDIENTS FOR THIS LEMON BLUEBERRY BREAD.
Oil. I used coconut oil. You have the option to use butter or canola oil as well
Eggs. You will need two large eggs
Sugar. I used white sugar so that the yellow hue showed more. You can use coconut sugar however your bread may look a little different from mine.
Fresh lemons. The fresh lemon juice is a must! It will make this bread light and bright with flavor.
Blueberries. Fresh or frozen. I used frozen for this recipe
Flour. I used all purpose flour.
Almond milk. You can use any milk you'd like but if you want to make this bread dairy free I suggest using a plant based milk.
Powdered Sugar. This is for the glaze. I highly recommend the glaze. It is made with lemons so it has a tangy sweetness and it gives the bread a luxurious top. This recipe is lower in sugar so you may want this little added sweetness to liven the bread up!
HOW TO MAKE EASY LEMON BLUEBERRY BREAD.
Step 1: Mix the wet ingredients into a bowl.
Step 2: Mix the dry ingredients into the batter.
Step 3: Fold in the blueberries.
Step 4: Bake the bread at 350 for 40 minutes. Meanwhile, make the glaze.
Step 5: When bread is cooled, glaze, then enjoy!

I made this lemon/blueberry loaf using butter instead of the coconut oil. It was delicious and reminded me of a pound cake.

Love the simplicity here...do you think I could use gluten free 1:1 flour with success??
Bailey
Hi Michelle! Yes, I think if you used gluten free all purpose it would be similar in texture and yes, the measurements would be 1:1
