Lemon Blueberry Bread Recipe
  • Prep: 15 min. Bake: 1 hour + cooling
  • Yield: 16 Servings
15 60 75

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 eggs
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts
  • 2 tablespoons grated lemon peel
  • GLAZE:
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Directions

  • In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar, lemon juice and eggs. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into egg mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Fold in the blueberries, nuts and lemon peel.
  • Transfer to a greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
  • Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over warm bread. Cool completely. Yield: 1 loaf (16 slices).

Editor's Note: If using frozen blueberries, use without thawing to avoid discoloring the batter.

I've made this several times now and it's gone before it has time to cool. I use extra lemon in both the bread and the glaze to give it a yummy tart flavor.

I substituted orange juice and orange zest since I am not a lemon person and it was wonderful, will definitely make again!

My 2nd time making this.

Only thing I did different was reduce the sugar to a heaping 3/4 cup and 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice (instead of 3). Was way too lemony for my taste buds the 1st try as written. Also, if you're allergic to nuts you can substitute with poppy seeds or leave it out altogether. Great find! This recipe is a keeper. Thanks!

Wonderful pound cake like texture Great flavor .Tweaked a bit used oil instead of butter(prefer a finer crumb + health/calorie benefits).Also used pulp from lemons as well to pump up flavor.no nuts in pantry.thank you for a great recipe.

This is one of those 'perfect' recipes - - exactly as it is written. Made my first loaf yesterday and my second one a few minutes ago - - to share (maybe!).
