Lemon Blueberry Bread

This moist Lemon Blueberry Bread is studded with juicy blueberries and loaded with lemon flavor. The easy lemon glaze adds more flavor and locks in moisture.

Happy Thursday to everyone!!  I know you guys are probably thinking isn’t this more of a spring recipe?!?!

Well, blueberries were on sale, and when I say sale I mean a really good sale, so I bought a couple big containers of them.  We, have been enjoying blueberries on everything.  Well, not everything……but you get the idea.

I made this lemon blueberry bread for the kids to enjoy for snack one afternoon and realized I don’t have this on the blog.  So, I had to make another loaf just so I could photo it and share it with all of you.  (Oh the life, it was so hard to find someone to eat this yummy bread…..kidding 🙂 )

Actually, it was gone right after taking pictures.  The kids all stood around patiently waiting (yeah right) for me to get done so they could eat (insert devour) this treat.

I barely got it over to the table for them to eat it!!  And I’m going to have to make another one because they didn’t even save me a piece!!  I think I will hide the next one and quietly sneak away for a mid morning or afternoon snack.  🙂 Hey a mom has to look out for herself!

Really though you guys need to make this bread.  It’s super simple.  You can even mix everything in one bowl (that’s what I do) to save some dishes.  So, don’t wait for next spring when lemon becomes popular again, enjoy this lemon blueberry bread today!
