Blueberry Lemon Quick Bread
This was the best blueberry bread I have ever made! I will definitely be making this again. I grow my own blueberries and used them for this recipe. This bread was moist with a great blueberry and lemon flavor and it was super easy to make! The crazy thing about it is I found the recipe from a Kroger magazine called “My Magazine.” I guess I will be checking those recipes out a little better from now on!
Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl combine
1-1/2 cups flour, baking powder
and salt then whisk well. Stir in
the lemon zest and the sugar.
In another bowl, whisk together
the milk, egg and oil.
Pour the egg mixture into the dry
mixture and stir just until combined.
Spray the bottom and sides of a 9” x 5”
bread pan with cooking oil.
In a small bowl add the frozen
blueberries. Add the 1 tsp of flour
to the blueberries and toss coating
the berries with the flour.
Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
Pour batter into the greased bread pan.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven
for about 40-50 minutes or until a
toothpick inserted in the center comes
out clean. Place on a cooling rack,
still in the pan, for 15 minutes.
Carefully remove from the pan and finish
cooling completely on the cooling rack.
Make the glaze in a small bowl by
whisking together the powdered sugar
and lemon juice until smooth. Add enough
juice that the mixture is thick but will still pour.
Drizzle the glaze over the bread
allowing it to drip down the sides.
Slice and serve.
Store leftovers in an airtight
container or cover with plastic wrap.

I have tried many different recipes and the bread never seemed moist after the first day. This was amazing for the 3 days it lasted. It takes me a long time to find or create a recipe that is “the one” and this is it for me. My homegrown blueberries are a sour variety and with the sweetness of the bread…oh my!

Do you need to change things if you use fresh fruit? It’s great you grow blueberries.

The only thing I would do is rinse the fresh blueberries and shake off the water until they are just damp. Don’t completely dry them, that way the flour will stick to them. Coating them in flour helps keep them from falling to the bottom of the batter.
