Moist Blueberry Bread Recipe

Ever since I was little I loved anything blueberry flavored. Fresh fruit was even better but during the winter frozen are second best. I recently made these easy bite sized blueberry pie filling dump cake cupcakes that were incredible and incorporated blueberries with cake mix.

Of course you can skip the lemon juice and lemon zest if you choose but a little is tasty. Bake and serve it in an adorable loaf pan and put it right out to eat!

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and set aside.
  • Blend together melted or room temperature butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon juice and zest. Mix until well combined.
  • Slowly add some of the dry ingredients in bowl and a little buttermilk and gently stir.
  • Continue doing this until everything other than blueberries are combined.
  • Rinse fresh (best) or frozen blueberries.
  • Add 1 tbsp of flour to the berries in a bowl and use hands to mix until they are coated (will help so they don’t sink to the bottom).
  • Gently fold berries into wet ingredient batter.
  • Spray non stick spray into a loaf pan and pour the batter in. Put into oven for about 50 minutes or until toothpick in the middle comes out clean.

Blueberry Lemon Bread

You can make some easy delicious lemon glaze with just some powdered sugar, enough milk to thin and some lemon flavor extract. Using fresh lemon juice is best but whatever you have on hand. Let loaf cool completely. In your bowl whisk together glaze and pour on top, or on each piece when served.
