Why This Recipe Works
Bright & Flavorful: Are lemon and blueberry the new it couple? I think so. The combination of sweet blueberries and bright, tangy lemon makes the absolute best bread ever! The majority of that lemon flavor will be coming from lemon zest along with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for good measure. You can eat this loaf as is or add the lemon glaze on top for a sweet treat. Simple to Make: My lemon blueberry bread is a quick bread recipe that is super easy to whip up! It just takes a bit of mixing (but not too much), and then some time in the oven! The whole family is going to absolutely love this recipe, so it is definitely worth it to make.
Ingredients
Butter: You will want to use butter that is at room temperature here. Sugar: Regular granulated sugar is totally fine. This will be whipped up with the butter before adding the other ingredients! Eggs: Anytime you are baking a cake, it is best to use room temperature eggs! Lemon Zest & Lemon Juice: I know it may seem like there is a lot of lemon zest in this lemon blueberry bread recipe, but trust me it is worth it for all that flavor! For the lemon juice, simply juice one of the lemons you used for the zest. Buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a little tang and is amazing for a tender bread. Vanilla: Vanilla adds a bit of extra flavor! Flour: I have only made this with all purpose flour. You could try to replace it with gluten-free measure for measure flour if you need a gluten-free lemon blueberry loaf! Baking Powder & Baking Soda: Baking powder and baking soda are added to help the bread rise in the oven. Blueberries: Fresh blueberries are coated in a little bit of flour to keep them from sinking to the bottom of the bread in the baking process! Lemon Glaze: This is simply made up of powdered sugar and lemon juice!

Expert Tips
Don’t over mix the batter! Be sure not to over mix the batter once the flour is added. Gently fold in the blueberries to ensure that the batter is not over mixed as well. An over mixed batter results in a tough lemon blueberry bread! If you love lemon flavor, you can add additional lemon by adding lemon extract. Don’t add more than 1 tsp though, as the flavor will be overwhelming! If the lemon glaze is too thick, add 1/2 tsp more of lemon juice in increments until you have reached the desired consistency!
