I think everyone loves a good piece of Blueberry Bread if you don’t you are crazy! With all my trips to the Farmers Market, I have had an abundance of fresh blueberries and knew I needed to whip together some bread. I love the fact that this bread is made with yogurt and the lemon zest gives it such a bright flavor. This bread is not super sweet which I like, it mainly gets its sweetness from the berries. If you want it sweeter I suggest adding more sugar or use vanilla yogurt- I used plain Greek yogurt. The best way to eat this bread is warm smeared with butter and drizzled with honey- pure heaven I tell you!
Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs

- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together your flour, baking powder and salt. Add the blueberries and lemon zest and toss to combine.
- Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, oneat a time, beating well after each addition. Add the yogurt then thedry ingredients, mixing only until incorporated and being careful not tocrush the blueberries.

I love blueberry bread…another way you could make this more sweet would be to use canned blueberries (which can be difficult to find). This recipe looks awesome!

Thank you for this recipe! I made it this weekend, and it is DE-licious! You're right about the lemon zest- just the right flavor.
Mine is in the oven now…but I am a little worried. The batter is super super thick and hardly spreadable..is that right?!
Could the blueberry bread be frozen?
