This Lemon Blueberry Loaf with Lemon Glaze is a delicious, bursting-with-flavor loaf that is perfect to enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea.
The bright, cheerful flavors of blueberry and lemon work together so beautifully in this easy loaf that will make you think spring is on the way.
My Lemon Blueberry Loaf with Lemon Glaze
The idea for this Lemon Blueberry Loaf with Lemon Glaze was born from a recent trip to Trader Joe’s.
I dashed in for a quick trip (is there such a thing as a “quick trip” to TJ’s actually?), and immediately got sucked in by all the “spring-y-ness”. Oh man, how I’m craving spring right now, and TJ’s had spring flowers, and produce, and all kinds of new products that shouted “SPRING!”.
Except it’s not quite spring yet. It’s still single-digit, or lower, temps here in Iowa, and in most of the country right now.
But, my thirst for spring caused these beauties to land in my cart. The bright, fresh flavor of lemons makes them perfect for spring. You can definitely use just regular lemons in your loaf, but if you can get your hands on these Meyer Lemons, you won’t be disappointed. 🍋
Then I remembered that I had some of these Maine blueberries in my freezer still from when I purchased two whole crates of them last summer. That’s when I knew a Lemon Blueberry Loaf was going to happen!

For the Lemon Glaze:

- ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions
For the Loaf:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper, or lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt, in a medium bowl, and set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, blend the melted butter, sugar, vanilla, eggs, lemon zest and lemon juice. Mix until combined.
- With mixer on low speed, alternate adding flour mixture and milk a little at a time. Continue mixing until just combined, being careful not to over mix.
- Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
- Pour the batter into prepared pan and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Cool bread in the pan for about 15 minutes, then move to a serving platter.
- Prepare the glaze by whisking together the melted butter, powdered sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. Slowly add additional lemon juice a teaspoon at a time if glaze is not pourable.
- Pour glaze over the still warm loaf and allow it to soak in before serving.

Blueberries and lemons just go together. Looks good! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party. Enjoy the rest of your week.
What a beauty that is, and our ADRIENNE has chosen it to be featured in the next Blogger’s Pit Stop.
You’ve made me hungry for Lemon Curd!!! Sadly, my boys’ taste buds haven’t evolved to appreciate Lemon Curd! You are so right, too – cooking is never just cooking! Your recipe sounds perfect for a spring trying to shake off winter! Yum!
I love blueberry lemon anything. Yum. beautiful pictures.
Mmmmmm…
This looks so good!
I’m new to Keto. Do you think almond flour would work well in this lemon loaf? I can substitute for the sugar easily. Looks delicious your way too. Thank you.
Hi Gail! I’ve not tried this with almond flour, so I can’t say for sure, but I am not certain a full sub of almond flour would give it the right texture. You might need to do a little research before you give it a try. I’d hate for it to turn out badly for you!
Good luck with your keto!
That looks fantastic! Pinned.
It is delicious
Delicious and tart! So good!
Hi Nicky,
I saw your Lemon Blueberry bread yesterday and had to make it. I had blueberries in my freezer just begging to be used 🙂 It is absolutely delicious!! And super easy too. Just one question, how much lemon juice did you add into the bread mixture with the vanila, eggs, etc…? I added two tablespoons, it was a little tart so I left out the lemon juice in the frosting. still delicious!!
Thank you for the great recipe! I can’t wait to try some of your other recipes.

Thank you so much, Karla. Yes, I did add 2 TBSP of lemon juice to my loaf and frosting. Mine was tart, but not overly. But then again, I wanted it to be pretty lemon-y. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by.
Oh yum, Niky!!! I have a Yummy! board on Pinterest and of course besides posting to a new Seasonal Inspiration section under my French Ethereal board, I’m always posting to other boards, too. 🙂 I miss my Meyer lemon tree but it went to my friend’s home when we had to sell our last home there in California. But, I see that I can get a lemon tree here in Texas and just keep it indoors (like this past week!) during super cold spells. 🙂 Oh, and it’s nice to see you in another hop, too!!
Enjoy your loaf and I will be baking this tea bread soon,
Hugs,
Barb 🙂
My mouth is watering! Pinned to make later.
This looks delicious. I pinned it and also printed it out to make this weekend. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe with us. Your pictures are beautiful as well.
Thank you so much, Terrie! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. 🍋
This looks delicious! It would also be perfect for breakfast with a cup of coffee. 🙂 Pinned!!
This looks amazing, Niky! I love anything with lemon in it so I know in advance this is going to be a home run 🙌 Love that you’re finding ways to celebrate Spring despite all the wild temperatures. Hang in there. It will be here soon! Hugs, CoCo
This looks delish Niky, I love the combo of lemons and blueberries!
Hi Niky, This looks so delicious, I pinned it to my recipes. I will definitely be trying it. Thank you!
Thanks, Corine. I hope you enjoy it!
This sounds delicious. I love all things lemon and blueberry.
Hi Niky,
Blueberries and lemon is a spring party in your mouth. I can’t wait to make this recipe.
Thanks for sharing and can’t wait for warmer spring days.
Cindy
Thanks so much,Cindy! I hope you enjoy it!
Niky, I not only pinned this recipe but am racking my brain wondering if I have the ingredients or if I need to go to the store! I’m so thankful and depressed at the same time that I don’t live closer to a TJ’s. I would be in big trouble. Thanks for sharing and can’t wait to try this recipe!
Ha, you made me laught, Tammy! I hope you enjoy the Lemon Blueberry Loaf!
Mmmm, that looks good! I made blueberry pancakes this week– I should have added a dash of lemon except my kids probably wouldn’t like it. I’ve pinned it!
