Lemon Blueberry Breakfast Bread

If you’re not making this year’s Thanksgiving meal, bring a pie but also bring a little breakfast. Breakfast? For Thanksgiving? Nope. Breakfast for your host, who undoubtedly has spent the last week sweating, baking, planning, shopping and anticipating this joyful but sometimes stressful holiday.

Trust me. Except for dishes and Black Friday shopping, they are not going to know what to do with themselves the morning after. I know I’d probably forget to eat breakfast altogether!

A nice homemade breakfast, whether it be this glazed quick bread full of juicy blueberries and tart lemon zest, or a batch of cinnamon roll muffins or maybe this strawberry coffee cake, will always be an appreciated and unexpected way to say “Thank you.” Better yet, if you’re the host, make a morning-after treat for yourself!

I hope that wherever you are this holiday, whether it’s at your own quiet dinner table or surrounded by family or friends, you have a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving, full of laughter, love and good food. Here’s to giving thanks for kind, supportive readers like you!

Lemon Blueberry Breakfast Bread

Yield: Makes about 8 (1-inch) slices

Ingredients:

1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
3 Tablespoons lemon juice
2 large eggs
1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
1 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (I used frozen)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/3 cup powdered sugar (or more, if needed, for thickening)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of the pan, then spray it with a little additional spray.

In a mixing bowl, beat together butter, 1 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons juice and eggs. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; stir into egg mixture alternately with milk. Beat in lemon zest. Toss blueberries with just enough flour to coat. (This helps keep them evenly distributed throughout rather than sinking to the bottom.) Gently stir blueberries into batter, then pour batter into prepared pan.

Bake in preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. (You may want to check at 45 minutes.) Cool bread in pan for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1/3 cup powdered sugar in a small bowl. Drizzle over warm loaves, using pastry brush to evening distribute. Finish cooling in pan on wire rack. (Note: If you want to take the loaves out of your pan, remove from pan after 10 minutes of cooling and before drizzling with glaze.)

Enjoy!

    I’m such a bread addict and can eat it anytime of day. I would love to try this lemon and blueberry recipe though I wish a friend of mine is reading this blog too. Then maybe she can just make one for me.

    Your comment made my heart leap to my throat at first, haha! But yes, if I could mail a slice of this bread to everyone who reads this blog, including you, I would. Luckily, though, it’s super easy for you to make yourself!

    Thanks for stopping by, Jenn, and for exercising my sense of humor! ;)

    Moist, fruity and luscious…this is definitely my type of quick bread. Either for the breakfast or as a tea accompaniment, or as a snack with a glass sparkling wine after a long afternoon of shopping..just relish!

    You’re so thoughtful, Georgia, to remember the host/hostess. I sincerely mean that, as many guests really do forget and take for granted all that goes into laying out a spread of a feast for the holidays and entertaining.

    A lovely breakfast bread good for any time of the day and with two of my favorite ingredients, lemons & blueberries. Hope you and yours have a happy and safe holiday!

    One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is having guests visit…I love being able to set out a quick bread or a plate of freshly baked muffins. This lemon and blueberry bread looks so beautiful, and I’m sure it tastes amazing. Such bright flavors! Thank you for sharing…I hope you have a beautiful and blessed Thanksgiving!

    The glaze on this bread is the perfect touch. And you are so right; there is nothing better than sitting down with a slice of bread like this and a cup of coffee to enjoy the silence after everyone has left. :) You and your breakfast treats are welcome at my house anytime :)

    That looks ridiculously good. I can’t wait for blueberry season! I’m ready for this blueberry lemon bread. And blueberry lemon donuts. And blueberry lemon ice cream. So basically blueberry lemon everything. :)

    What is the milk for? It’s never added in the directions.

    • Georgia — January 28th, 2014 @ 12:02 pm

      The milk is in the second paragraph of directions.

  33. Beth says

    January 29, 2014 at 11:45 am

    Ha ha on me… I read it so many times and never could find the word milk. Sorry!

    all-purpose, bread

    thank u :)

    • Georgia — December 24th, 2014 @ 10:57 am

    Can I make is in one big loaf pan. What size pan should I use? Can I use a bunt pan

    • Georgia — June 25th, 2015 @ 1:19 pm

      Yes, a standard size loaf pan is what you should use. I haven’t used a bundt pan for this recipe before, but you could try!

  36. Gina says

    Hi! I would love to make this recipe, just a little confused. It makes 8 slices which seems like 1 loaf and it begins with preheating the oven and preparing a loaf pan. But then it says to separate the batter into 3 prepared pans? Does this make 1 or 3 loaves? Thank you so much!! Can’t wait to make this recipe :)

  37. Georgia says

    January 7, 2016 at 1:48 pm

    Oops! So sorry about that error, you just need one pan for one loaf. The recipe has been updated.
