Lemon Blueberry Bread is a moist and flavorful quick bread filled with juicy blueberries and fresh lemon zest, topped with an optional lemon glaze. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dessert, it’s an easy-to-make loaf that’s bursting with bright citrus and berry flavors.

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Granulated sugar
  • Eggs
  • Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • Lemon zest
  • Fresh lemon juice
  • Unsalted butter, melted
  • Vanilla extract
  • Fresh or frozen blueberries (tossed in flour)
  • Powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • Fresh lemon juice (for glaze)
  • Lemon zest (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Stir in Greek yogurt and melted butter until smooth.
  5. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined—do not overmix.
  6. Toss blueberries with a bit of flour, then gently fold them into the batter.
  7. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. If glazing, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest, then drizzle over cooled bread.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter—this ensures a tender loaf.
  • Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer to avoid discoloration.
  • The glaze is optional but adds extra lemon flavor and sweetness.
  • This bread tastes even better the next day once flavors have melded.
  • Line the pan with parchment for easy removal and clean edges.
