Lemon Blueberry Bread
Lemon Blueberry Bread
This lemon blueberry bread is bright, fresh, and bursting with flavor. A tender, lemony loaf is filled with juicy blueberries, then finished with a warm lemon glaze that soaks into the bread for extra moisture and a sweet-tart citrus kick in every bite. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon treat with coffee or tea, it’s also a lovely homemade gift for friends and neighbors.
