    Full of the best summer flavors this Blueberry Lemon Loaf is simple to make and tastes great. It's even topped with an amazing lemon glaze.

    I love fresh fruit in the summer. We love close to several farms and love to go picking for fresh fruit, it's one of my favorite early summer activities and the kids look forward to it each year.

    My kids could eat blueberries like they are going out of style, but I was able to keep a few to make this Blueberry Lemon Loaf and I don't think they minded!

    How to make Blueberry Lemon Loaf:

    This Blueberry Lemon Loaf is perfect for breakfast. Bake it and take it out on the porch on a nice summer morning or serve it with a nice brunch.

    Make your batter and pour it into the bread pan. I like to top the batter with additional blueberries before baking, just to pack in more juicy blueberries to the bread.

    Make your glaze while the bread bakes. You want to glaze the bread when it is still warm, but not straight out of the oven hot. This will allow the glaze to spread and cover the whole bread.

    Ingredients:

    • All-Purpose Flour
    • Baking Powder
    • Salt - use more or less to taste
    • Butter - unsalted and  at room temperature.
    • Sugar - white granulated sugar
    • Lemon Zest -  yellow outside part of a lemons peel
    • Eggs
    • Buttermilk
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Blueberries - I used fresh blueberries

    Glaze:

    • Powdered Sugar
    • Lemon Juice

    Directions:

    Step One - Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a bread pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

    Step Two - Add flour, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl. Whisk together and set aside.

    Step Three - In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer cream together butter and sugar. Add in lemon zest and eggs and mix again.

    Step Four - Add in the flour mix to your butter mix. Add a little at a time alternate between flour and buttermilk until all ingredients are well combined.

    Step Five - Fold in blueberries and pour batter into the prepared bread pans Bake for 60-65 minutes. Or until bread is fully cooked, and a toothpick could come out clean.

    Step Six - While bread bakes prepare glaze by whisking all ingredients together.

    Step Seven - Once bread is baked remove it from the oven and place on a wire rack. Pour glaze over and allow to cool until glaze has set. Serve and enjoy.

    Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh:

    I love using fresh blueberries but if they are out of season frozen can be used.

    You want to thaw the blueberries first. Place them in a strainer and rinse them with cold water. Pat dry then add them to your recipe.

    How to thaw frozen blueberries:

    The best way to thaw frozen blueberries would be to place them in the fridge over night.

    Otherwise you can place them in cold water to thaw in the bowl.

    Try some of my other bread recipes:

    Chocolate Chip Banana Bread - This Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is a sweet and tasty twist to a classic banana bread. It is moist and full of banana flavor and sweet chocolate chips. The perfect bread for breakfast or a snack.

    Gingerbread Loaf - This Gingerbread Loaf is packed with my favorite Christmas flavor and then topped with a simple homemade vanilla frosting. The perfect pair and a must bake for this Christmas season.

    Zucchini Bread - This Zucchini Bread is one of my favorites. It always comes out perfectly moist and totally delicious. It's a quick and simple bread recipe that I think you will love.
