Scrumptious Blueberry-Lemon Bread Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 1 hour + cooling

Yield: 12 Servings

20 60 80

Ingredients

1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 egg white
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup fat-free milk
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
GLAZE:
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the flours, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, beat the egg, egg white, applesauce, milk and butter. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in blueberries and lemon peel.
Transfer to an 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Combine the glaze ingredients; pour over warm loaf. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Yield: 1 loaf (12 slices).

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

This was too dry to eat without spreading cream cheese all over it!

I made this last night and just finished a couple slices for breakfast. It's fantanstic! My husband loved it as well. I used an egg substitute for allergy reasons. Used 3 Tbs. of canola oil instead of butter, increased applesauce to 3/4 cup, added juice from 1/2 a lemon and 1/4 tsp. lemon extract. Before adding the blueberries I coated them in flour to keep them from all sinking to bottom. Turned out great and I love the healthier aspect.
