Lemon blueberry bread

Lemon blueberry bread made with freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest and baked to perfection!

This easy Lemon blueberry bread makes a great sweet breakfast!

It’s an easy bread recipe – takes about 15 minutes to make, and you can use either fresh or frozen blueberries.

It’s quite refreshing to have a slice of this lemon blueberry bread for breakfast with a cup of hot tea or coffee! It works great as a coffee cake!

Make sure to coat the berries in flour before folding them into the batter – it will help prevent them from sinking!

If you have trouble retrieving your breads from the bread pan in one piece, I suggest greasing the pan with butter, then lining the bottom and 2 sides of it with parchment paper, and greasing the parchment paper too:

Then, add the cake batter to the pan.  It should be about this much full:

And bake your blueberry lemon bread to perfection until tester comes out clean and the top is golden-brown:
