Here’s why I love this Lemon Blueberry Bread:
- It couldn’t be easier. The recipe requires 10 simple ingredients and you can mix the dough in the same number of minutes. The oven takes care of the rest!
- It’s full of bright lemon flavor. I use a whole tablespoon of lemon zest in the bread. Once it cools, I drizzle it with a 2-ingredient lemon glaze and top it with more zest for an extra citrus touch.
- It’s not just for dessert. I love eating this lemon blueberry bread with a cup of coffee or tea in the afternoon. I wouldn’t turn down even a portion of breakfast either!

Do you want to make this recipe? Here are some tips:
- Frozen blueberries are fair game. I almost always have frozen blueberries in my freezer and have used them in this recipe several times. You can add them directly to the frozen dough. Just a heads up that you may need to bake the bread for a few more minutes.
- The frosting covers it on top. If you’re craving a delicious treat with lots of lemon, don’t skip the glaze on top of this bread. Adds the perfect citrus touch!
- Leftovers freeze perfectly. Simply wrap them tightly or seal them in an airtight container and freeze them for up to 3 months! They thaw well at room temperature. I like to cut the bread into slices before freezing so I can thaw slices one at a time.
If you are also someone who loves lemon desserts in spring, add this one to your to-do list. L&L reader Karen wrote: “I’ve made this 6-8 times. Delicious!” I hope it becomes a pleasure for you too.
