Grab your loaf pan and get ready to bake up some sweet sunshine with this delicious lemon blueberry bread. Packed with zesty citrus, juicy blueberries and crunchy nuts, it’s one of our all-time favorite lemon-blueberry recipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n The beauty of a quick bread is just that: It’s quick. This lemon blueberry loaf uses basic pantry staples that you probably already have on hand, and it comes together in no time. Use peak-season blueberries or frozen berries\u2014that way you can enjoy it year-round. A zippy, sweet glaze tops the super tender and perfectly moist cake, making it equally food for dessert or breakfast. Like all of our quick bread recipes<\/a>, it’s a great afternoon pick-me-up with tea, too.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F and grease an 8×4-inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, beat together the melted butter, sugar, lemon juice and eggs until smooth.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> How you mix the wet ingredients is entirely up to you. An electric hand-mixer, stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or simply whisking by hand all work fine.<\/p>\n In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.<\/p>\n Starting and ending with the dry ingredients, alternate adding the flour mixture and milk to the batter, mixing until just combined after each addition.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip<\/em>: Adding ingredients in this pattern and only mixing until the ingredients are just incorporated helps avoid overmixing the batter, which could make your blueberry lemon bread dense or tough. We’re aiming for a soft and tender loaf.<\/p>\n Add the blueberries, chopped nuts and lemon zest to the batter and gently fold in by hand using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip<\/em>: Using a folding motion prevents overmixing, which isn’t a good thing when it comes to baking quick breads. It can make them tough and gluey.<\/p>\n Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan before removing the loaf to a wire rack.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip: <\/em>If you notice that the edges of the bread are browning too quickly, simply tent the loaf pan with a piece of aluminum foil.<\/p>\n While the blueberry lemon bread cools, prepare the glaze by stirring 1\/4 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice together in a small bowl. Spoon the glaze over the warm bread and allow it to cool completely.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip: <\/em>For less mess, place the loaf and wire rack over a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper before glazing. This will catch any glaze drippings and make for easy clean up.<\/p>\n Yes, quick breads are great for stashing in the freezer. To freeze, wrap the completely cooled loaf in a layer of plastic wrap, followed by a layer of foil, then place in an airtight container or freezer-safe zip-top bag. The bread can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then allow to come to room temperature before slicing and serving.<\/p>\n If the blueberries you’re using are on the larger side, they might sink to the bottom of the loaf while baking. To reduce the risk of sinking blueberries, simply toss the blueberries (fresh or frozen) in 1\/2 teaspoon water and 1 teaspoon flour before folding them into the batter. The extra coating of flour helps the blueberries “grip” the batter and stay in place.<\/p>\n To achieve the best, most delicious texture in your lemon blueberry loaf, make sure to measure your flour correctly; too much can result in a dry quick bread. Use room-temperature eggs so they mix into the batter better, and milk with higher fat content will produce a moist cake. Don’t forget the glaze\u2014it adds flavor but also locks in moisture.<\/p>\n The bread is ready to come out of the oven when a toothpick or wooden skewer inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bake up some sunshine with our incredibly moist, tender and flavorful lemon blueberry bread.

Lemon Blueberry Bread Tips<\/h2> \r\n\r\n
How do you keep this moist?<\/h3> \r\nTo keep this lemon blueberry bread moist, avoid using low-fat milk; stick to 2% or whole milk. Also, bring the eggs to room temperature before using. The glaze applied after baking will absorb into the warm bread, providing even more moisture. When cool, store the bread in an airtight container to keep prevent it from drying out. Be sure to follow these bread storage tips<\/a>, too.\r\n\r\n
Any tips to prevent the edges of the bread from overcooking?<\/h3> \r\nBreads typically bake from the outside in. If you notice during baking that the edges of your bread are browning quickly, tent the bread with a piece of aluminum foil. You might also want to bake your lemon blueberry bread either in a glass or light-colored metal pan as opposed to a dark metal pan, which absorbs more heat. Read more about baking in dark pans<\/a>. \r\n\r\n
How can I make variations to this bread?<\/h3> \r\nThis quick bread is wonderfully versatile when it comes to varying the flavors and ingredients because of its lemon base (make sure you're juicing lemons the easy way<\/a>!). For a delicious lemon raspberry bread, swap out raspberries for the blueberries. Turn this into an orange cranberry bread by using orange juice and cranberries. Cherries and almonds also pair beautifully with either lemon or orange.","Metadescription":null,"DigitalHeadnotes":"Of all the quick breads we had growing up, this beautiful lemon blueberry bread is the best!
