Spring Lemon Blueberry Loaf recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

 

My family normally loves the Trader Joes lemon loaf boxed mix but this time I stepped it up a notch with a from scratch recipe with fresh blueberries.  Let’s just say, it didn’t last in our kitchen for even 24 hours.  This lemon blueberry bread is a simple recipe any baker can whip up with confidence.   The juicy blueberries combined with the burst of fresh lemon,  gives it a sweet and tangy flavor.  It’s super moist and full of flavor!  Whether you’re looking for a quick breakfast, an afternoon snack, or something to share with friends, this will be a crowd pleaser!
