It's rich and soft, and the tangy lemon zest glaze brightens up your tastebuds—a treat you deserve with your daily cup of coffee!

This is an overview of the ingredients. You'll find the full measurements and instructions in the green recipe card (printable) at the bottom of the page.

This easy lemon blueberry loaf is best served warm 'n fresh. However, leftovers taste just as good at room temperature, or even straight out of the fridge.

After the loaf has completely cooled, place it in a resealable bag or an airtight container. It will keep for around two days at room temperature.

You can freeze leftover bread for up to 3 months. Wrap the entire loafin a layer of plastic wrap, and store them in an airtight container or freezer bag.

I like to slice the loaf and freeze with parchment paper between the slices. That way you can remove just one slice at a time.

For that fresh-baked taste we love so much, reheat slices in the microwave in 10-second bursts. Don't forget to slather on some melty butter—yum.

Expert Tip: Fold the blueberries in with a rubber spatula to prevent them from getting smashed. This will keep them whole and juicy!

Fresh berries are the best option if they’re in season and available to you. However, if you must use frozen, they'll work okay. Just stir them in frozen (not thawed), and add two tablespoons more flour to the batter to account for the extra moisture they'll add.

Melting the butter makes the bread softer and denser, and really brings out a deep buttery flavor. Softened butter is generally used when you want to whip air into the batter, like with cakes.

Are you letting the bread cool before storing it? This is important, or the condensation from the heat will make it soggy. Otherwise, place a paper towel underneath and on top of the bread before sealing it up. This should help avoid sogginess, too.

This bread is one of the best I've ever tried. Moist and sweet with a little tang of lemon that balances everything out. Personally, I like this with just a touch of cream cheese.

One Bowl Lemon Blueberry Quick Bread

You can use fresh or frozen blueberries for this bread. It is also made with sour cream which keeps it very moist and pairs well with the tangy lemon flavor. If you do not have sour cream on hand, you could also use plain or vanilla yogurt. 

The mixing method for this bread is the muffin mixing method. This mixing method reduces gluten formation and keeps the bread very tender and moist.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and use a spoon or spatula to combine. Do not use a whisk or you might over-mix the batter.

Add your fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter and gently fold in, being careful not to break them. This batter is very thick so it will suspend the berries throughout without having to toss them in flour before adding them. 

I like to line my loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal. You can see how to line the pan easily in this quick video… 

Pour your batter into the pan and top with more blueberries. Bake until a toothpick comes out of the center clean. Allow to cool on a cooling rack completely before glazing.

Sour Cream Blueberry Bread — Baking With Josh & Ange

With this recipe, no. With many recipes that call for blueberries, you will find that they often sink to the bottom of the bread, a cake, or muffins. The reason why this happens is that the weight of blueberries is too heavy for the thickness of the batter. So if the batter is thin, they are going to sink to the bottom every time.

Thankfully, this batter is thick enough that it shouldn't be an issue. As you can see in my photos, the blueberries are evenly spread throughout the bread, and I do not toss them in flour before.

On average, it will last 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Let come to room temperature before serving if you wish.
