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 am not really a cook but I do enjoy reading your posts and recipes. You make them all look delicious and easy to undertake! Thanks for sharing.
You are so sweet thank you Terri!
Hi Diane. This is going to be another favourite of mine. I love the combination of flavours as well as the rustic, farmy look to the loaf cake.
I know what you mean Kim! I loved the way it looked as well as the well it tasted!
I love lemon-blueberry bread but my recipe calls for buttermilk and Crisco.
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!
I’ll have to try out your recipe too. It looks fantastic.
These loaves are my favorite! And lemon/blueberry is a winning combination. Yum!
Isn’t it though! No better combination. Thanks!
I BIT MY COMPUTER SCREEN and I got a nose-bleed. But it WAS tasty!!
Hmmm not sure what to say but glad it was good..lol
This sounds good. I’m not a big cook but maybe one day I will be able to try out some of your recipes.
Once you get started you won’t quit. I hope you try some day. Have a great weekend!
Thank you. I definitely will try sometime.

It was amazing…Thanks!

Looks yummie. You’re like the spouse who brings home the box of chocolates the day after the wife decides to go on a diet – LOL.
Hahahaha good one! The bad thing about this was my husband doesn’t like blueberries so guess who ate the entire thing?
Classic pairing! blueberry and lemon, yum 😋
Thanks!
Blueberry and lemon are a terrific combination.

Thanks it was so good!
Love when lemon combines with blueberry! Your recipe looks very delicious 🙂 thanks for sharing !

Lemon and blueberries go so well together. The Crisco would have made it so moist too.

Thank you I will check yours out!
This sounds like an interesting version of a quick bread. I like the idea of combining the flavors of blueberries and lemons very much.
I have always love lemon and blueberries. The only way I will make the icing is powdered sugar with only lemon juice. It just makes the best flavor! Thank you so much Linda!
That looks and sounds so good…wish I had a slice right now. 🙂 Hugs
Awww thank you Mags! ❤ It tastes more like dessert than bread!
I remember liking this recipe last year, Diane, and your last post reminded me of it. I just baked it and we had it for breakfast this morning. It was light and lemony and very tasty. Thank you for sharing.
All the best,
Tanja
I’m so glad you liked it! It is one of my favorite breads! You are very welcome!
Diane, the photo of that bread on the plate makes my mouth water. I can just taste those luscious blueberries!
Thank you so much it truly has a wonderful flavorful. ❤
Hi Diane! I made this blueberry bread yesterday – with fresh picked berries – and it IS delicious! It will not last long in our house, so I’m prepared to make another loaf tomorrow. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Yay!!!! Kate it is one of my favorite breads. I am so glad you liked it. Thank you so much for letting me know. ❤
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.
Hi Diane! This recipe sounds scrumptious, and I plan on trying it sometime this week. Can’t wait! Carol (carolh_art from Instagram) 👋
You will love this Carol. Seriously my favorite blueberry bread and so simple. Thank you ❤️
I always us a box mix for quick bread but you have inspired me to make this from scratch.
Oh yes!!! This was so simple Bernadette!
