Lemon Blueberry Bread

This Lemon Blueberry Bread is a delicious quick bread that is loaded with blueberries and lemon flavor. Serve it anytime of the day!

Summer is just about here and the grocery stores are filled with fresh fruit. The other day the blueberries looked so big, bright and juicy I couldn’t resist buying some. Today, I am sharing this this Lemon Blueberry Bread with you and believe me, it won’t disappoint. Lemon and blueberries are a perfect combination and this bread is loaded with both! In addition, this bread is so moist it practically melts in your mouth. Lastly, this bread is easy to make and would be perfect for breakfast, brunch or a special occasion like a First Communion, or bridal shower.

What I love about this bread:

• Easy to Make: It just takes about 15-20 minutes to whip up this bread.
• Delicious Combination of Flavors: Lemon and blueberry go great together.
• Perfectly Moist: The inside of this bread is so moist and tasty!
• Topped off with a Simple Lemon Glaze: The glaze is simple to make and gives the bread that extra lemon flavor. However, the glaze is optional. The bread on its own is tasty when served plain.
• Make it anytime of the year: Since blueberries can be found pretty much any time of the year, make this bread all year long. You can also use frozen blueberries in this recipe too!
• Yes! You can freeze this bread. Cool bread completely. Place heavy duty aluminum foil over bread and place in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Let thaw completely. Top with glaze, let set, serve and enjoy!
