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

Lemon Blueberry BreadIf 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:

Course: Breakfast, Dessert
Cuisine: American
Servings: 10 people
Calories: 236 kcal
Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup butter melted
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest grated
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Butter an 8x4 inch loaf pan, line the bottom and two sides of the pan with the parchment paper, as shown in the photo.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat together butter, 1 cup sugar, lemon juice and eggs.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; stir into egg mixture alternately with milk.
  5. In the same bowl where you combined flour, add blueberries and toss them in 2 tablespoons of flour. This will help prevent blueberries from sinking.
  6. Fold in lemon zest, and blueberries into the batter. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  7. Bake in preheated oven for about 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool bread in pan for 40 minutes on a wire rack.

    If I wanted to make muffins instead of the bread loaf, would I have to change the cooking time?

    I’ve made this before & it was delicious! However, I have a blueberry compote. Do you think I could fold it into the batter? Would they sink? I realize this has been pinned for awhile, any advice would be appreciated!

    Thanks!

    It came out perfectly moist. I used greek yogurt and it was the perfect choice for the flavor. Also added extra lemon because i prefer a super lemony bread. So yummy! Also thanks for the tip on putting flour on the blueberries

    It was really good but I decreased the sugar and increased the lemon. I cup of sugar would have been too sweet. I used a little less than 3/4 cup.

    I love how easy this recipe is! Came together so quickly with items I already had on hand. The bread is still in the oven but I couldn’t wait to leave a review because I TASTED THE BATTER and oh my. I can hardly wait another hour to try the bread!
