Every week, our CSA delivery includes at least one pint of fresh blueberries. I’ve been snacking on them, sprucing up cereals, tossing them into salads, and blending them into smoothies. I eventually tried the lemon blueberry bread recipe from the CSA blog. Simple recipe, and I’d like to veganize it next time I make it. I ended up only drizzling it with half the glaze as it’s already very sweet to begin with. Tastes like summertime!
Lemon Blueberry Bread
Recipe from Stony Hills CSA
Bread Ingredients
1/3 cup melted margarine
1 cup sugar
3 Tbsp lemon juice
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup soy milk
2 Tbsp grated lemon zest
1 cup fresh blueberries – dried with a paper towel
Glaze Ingredients
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp margarine melted
1 cup confectioners sugar
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray a 9×5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Lightly sprinkle the loaf pan with a little sugar, if desired.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the margarine, sugar, lemon juice, and eggs. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, alternating with milk. Gently fold in the lemon zest and blueberries. Bake for 60-70 minutes.
Whisk together the ingredients for the glaze. Drizzle the glaze over cooled bread.

atWhat a great way to make use of the blueberries. In Dubai, fresh blueberries are really expensive so when I buy blueberries, I usually eat them raw, one by one, to make the luxury last:)

atFresh berries are the best! Such a treat. :D Are you able to get frozen berries at a reasonable price though? For baking, I’ve found that frozen berries work pretty well, and you don’t even need to thaw them.

atOMG, this looks so good! I can only imagine the scent… Mmmm, my mom used to make something similar, but with cherries… The vanilla aroma spreading throughout the flat while baking… Smells like childhood :)

atOoooh! Vanilla and cherries… that should be my next baking project. Sounds delicious, and I bet it smells amazing. I might have to wait a few more weeks so the weather is cooler. I refuse to turn on the oven in this heat!
