Recipe Tips & Variations

- Extra Moist Loaf: Swap half the butter with vegetable oil for a softer crumb.
- Glaze Alternatives: Try a lemon cream cheese glaze for a richer topping.
- Berry Variations: Swap blueberries with raspberries, blackberries, or a mix.
- Mini Loaves: Divide batter into mini loaf pans (bake 25–30 minutes).
- Muffins: Turn into 12 muffins—bake 18–22 minutes.
Storage & Make-Ahead
- Room Temp: Store covered for up to 3 days.
- Refrigerator: Keeps well up to 1 week.
- Freezer: Wrap tightly (unglazed) and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before glazing.
This Lemon Blueberry Loaf is bright, soft, and bakery-worthy. The lemon cuts through the sweetness, while the blueberries burst with flavor in every bite.
