I am a blueberry addict! Living in Maine, there are blueberries everywhere and I am ready to pick them anytime! Lemon and blueberries go so well together, the sweet and tart combination is out of this world! Since summer is almost here, I am loving the quick and delicious recipes. I want to spend more time outside in the sun than in my kitchen. This quick bread is amazing, made with yogurt, it is moist and delicious. I wish that I had baked two loaves because this one disappeared quickly. You will love the smell of this bread baking in the oven, it is heavenly!!
Use a 9×5 inch loaf pan. Top with more blueberries!
Lemony Blueberry Bread! Smells amazing!
Oh that glaze!!

Loo Hoo, You must come to Maine this summer for Lobsters and Blueberries!! Nettie
Wonderful treat you brought – had one slice for lunch.
Thank you Manley, you vegetable gardens are just wonderful. I have a couple recipes for your Rhubarb, very exciting! Nettie
Delicious Babe, glad I got my one slice before it disappeared. Pops
I made this today……there is no way this batter fits in a 9×5 loaf pan. The batter was to the top of the pan and I thought okay perhaps it doesn’t rise much. No, spilled over in the first 10 minutes. Should have gone with my first instinct.
This was wonderful! Absolutely perfect. I had no problem with the amount of batter; it rose above the edge but didn’t spill over. I’ll be making this one often!
I am so happy you enjoyed this bread Lorinda!
I am a professional baker. I do this for a living. The only time I have ever had a cake spill over is when I have used the wrong size pan. Lemon and Blueberries are my favorite combination. I wish I had taken a picture when I made mine, it was absolutely delicious and no spills!
Thank you so much Tampa Cake Girl, I am thrilled that you enjoyed it. Nettie
I love every recipe involving blueberries and I have to say this one looks amazing, Nettie! Would love to give it a try 🙂
