This lemon blueberry bread is moist, tender, and filled with sweet berries. With just 10 ingredients, it’s an easy spring dessert readers make on repeat.
As the weather warms up this spring, I’ve noticed my dessert cravings shifting. So long, chocolate—right now, I want all things bright and citrusy. I’m clearly not alone in this, because of all the desserts on Love & Lemons, there’s one our readers can’t stop making this spring: this lemon blueberry bread.

Here’s why I love this lemon blueberry bread:
- It couldn’t be easier. The recipe calls for 10 simple ingredients, and you can mix up the batter in as many minutes. The oven takes care of the rest!
- It’s full of bright lemon flavor. I use a full tablespoon of lemon zest in the loaf itself. Once it cools, I drizzle it with a 2-ingredient lemon glaze and top it with more zest for an extra-citrusy kick.
- It’s not just for dessert. I love snacking on this lemon blueberry bread with a cup of coffee or tea in the afternoon. I wouldn’t turn down a slice for breakfast, either!

Want to make this recipe? Here are a few tips:
- Frozen blueberries are fair game. I almost always have frozen blueberries in my freezer, and I’ve used them in this recipe several times. You can add them straight to the batter frozen. Just a heads up that you may need to bake the loaf for an extra few minutes.
- The glaze takes it over the top. If you’re craving a super-lemony treat, don’t skip the glaze on top of this bread. It adds the perfect citrusy pop!
- Leftovers freeze perfectly. Just wrap them tightly or seal in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months! They thaw nicely at room temperature. I like to slice the loaf before freezing so that I can thaw slices one at a time.
If you’re also someone who loves lemon desserts in spring, add this one to your to-make list. L&L reader Karen wrote, “I’ve made this 6-8 times. Delicious!” I hope it becomes a go-to treat for you too.
Looks like a great treat fo my friends &, of course, ME!
