This Blueberry Lemon Bread is not only super moist and scrumptious, it’s healthy! It’s a perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth.
I don’t usually have a sweet tooth but yesterday I had a big ole craving for something sweet. So at 7:30 last night I decided to bake this blueberry lemon bread. It’s been on my list of recipes to try and with fresh blueberries in the refrigerator, so it was perfect timing. I love the lemon in dessert recipes. These Lemon Bars are one of our family favorites and this Lemonade Cake is the hit of summer barbecues and family get togethers every time!
It is incredibly scrumptious! Plus, I forgot to mention, it’s healthy too! Doubly happy 🙂 It’s actually even Paleo too. I love how unbelievably moist things I bake with almond meal flour come out.
I did add a little glaze on mine this time, which “un-healthified” it a tad. I probably won’t do this often. But to be completely honest, it made the pictures so much prettier with it on! 🙂

Can you use regular flour for this if you don’t have almond or coconut flour?
Nancy Derhammer
Can I use thawed frozen berries
Sherri
Yes, absolutely!

I am going to try this but instead of glaze with milk I would use lemon juice. We used to love a cake made with lemon cake mix then the glaze was made with powdered sugar and lemon juice. We called it astronaut cake bc it looked like the surface if the moon . Mom poked holes in the cake and then drizzled the glaze over the 9×13 cake.

I made these today! I couldn’t find my bread pan, so I baked them in my brownie pan. They are soooo good!
Lane
These are delicious and easy to make….. I always have all the ingredients on hand. For the glaze… I mixed lemon juice with icing sugar to make it extra lemony, and it turned out amazing!
Cheryl
Do you use actual coconut oil or the unrefined ?
Sherri
Yes, absolutely 🙂
Bonnie Kraft
Can I use flax eggs?
Sherri
Although I have never tried that, I would think it would work just fine 🙂
Shaz
Is the nutrition based on the whole loaf or of one slice?
Sherri
It is for one slice (of 10 equally divided slices) 🙂

Second time ever making this tonight. I really enjoyed it the first time. But this time I added more juice & zested the lemon. However, I cant seem to stop it from collapsing!! Its driving me nuts! Any tips on how to prevent this?!
Thanks!

This was AMAZING!! I have IBS and struggle to find yummy desserts and treats I can eat and this was perfect. My entire family ate it all too and can’t stop talking about it. Highly recommend. The only thing I changed was a little more lemon!
Sherri
I am SO happy you loved it!!

Just made this yummy recipe into muffins and baked them for 20 mins. They turned out beautifully. I doubled the blueberries which resulted in a blue muffin, but it tasted wonderful. Very moist. Oh and I added a little lemon zest.
Thank you for a great recipe.
Sherri
I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed them. 🙂 I should try the muffins too!

I have not tried this yet. Has anyone made it with a different oil like canola? I have to limit saturated fat.
