Blueberry Lemon Bread

Blueberry Lemon Bread

Blueberries and Lemon, a really tasty combination.  Breakfast or Brunch lightly sweetened bread or dessert.  Delicious with a cup of coffee, tea or milk.

I adapted this recipe a little..I cut back on sugar because I wanted it to be a bread more than a dessert.  Thinking of breakfast was in my mind.


3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/3 cup melted butter
zest of one lemon
3 T lemon juice
1 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
4 oz. fresh blueberries
1/2 cup 2% milk

Glaze:
 1/2 to 3/4 cup powder sugar
1 tsp. lemon juice (add more if too thick)

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease loaf pan with cooking spray.

Beat together eggs, sugar, butter and lemon juice until smooth.

Add flour, baking powder and salt. Beat on low to medium until mixed.

Dust blueberries with a little flour.  Add blueberries and lemon zest gently to mixture using a large spoon . Mixture will be thick. Spoon mixture into loaf pan and bake approximately 60 minutes.  Test with a toothpick to make sure center comes out clean.

Cool about 10 minutes and turn onto large plate.  Cool completely.

In a small bowl place powdered sugar. Whisk lemon juice slowly into powdered sugar.  When cake is completely cooled drizzle over cake.
