Easy Blueberry Lemon Loaf with Lemon Glaze Recipe Tips and Notes

1. Don’t Overmix your Batter – mix your dry and wet ingredients just until combined. Overmixing can lead to an overall denser loaf.
2. Toss Blueberries in Flour – be sure to sure to toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf pan.
3. Microwave Lemon – for about 30 seconds or until warm enough to extract as much juice as possible from the flesh.

Can I Make Ahead Blueberry Lemon Loaf with Lemon Glaze

If planning to bake this loaf ahead, allow to cool completely, wrap in plastic wrap and store at room temperature without the glaze. When ready to serve, prepare lemon glaze and add the day of serving.

How to Store Easy Blueberry Lemon Loaf with Lemon Glaze

The best method to store this loaf is to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap then place an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to four days.

Can I Freeze this Blueberry Lemon Loaf?

Blueberry Lemon Loaf freezes well because of its density and can withstand the freezing and thawing process without compromising texture and taste. If choosing to freeze, ensure the loaf is completely cooled, then slice it (if preferred) and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, followed by foil and then place in a freezer safe airtight container or ziploc bag for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator, and bring to room temperature before serving.

If slicing before freezing, freeze in a single layer. Once frozen, you can stack and store the slices in whatever way works best for you in the freezer.

Can I Use Frozen Blueberries?

You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries, this recipe used fresh. If using frozen, do not thaw them prior to adding to the batter. You will most likely need to increase the bake time by a few minutes as well.

Can I Use a Different Type of Berry?

Feel free to swap the blueberries for raspberries, blackberries or strawberries, keeping the same process.

How Do you Keep Blueberry Lemon Loaf Moist?

To keep this lemon blueberry loaf moist, it’s important to keep a suitable fat content in the mixture, so avoid using low-fat milk/buttermilk. Apply the glaze while the loaf is still warm so it can be absorbed into the loaf, adding more moisture. When cooled and ready to store, follow the storage tips above to keep moist.

How do I Prevent the Edges of the Loaf from Overcooking?

Loaves and breads typically bake from the outside in (centre baking last). Try baking your blueberry lemon loaf in either in a light-colored metal or glass pan as opposed to a dark metal pan, which absorbs more heat. Additionally, if you notice the edges of the loaf is browning quickly or quicker than the insides, tent the bread with a piece of aluminum foil to preserve the edges and top from getting too brown.

Blueberry Lemon Loaf Recipe Variations

• Raspberries & Lemon – swap raspberries for the blueberries and turn this into a lemon raspberry loaf.
• Cranberries & Orange Juice – swap blueberries for cranberries, lemon juice for orange juice and turn this into an orange cranberry loaf.
• Strawberries & Lemon – swap strawberries for the blueberries and turn this into a strawberry lemon loaf.

General Baking Tips for Success

Baking can often be very daunting for beginners or the average home cook, however, it doesn’t have to be! Here are a few general tips for success that you should remember for the next time you bring out a mixing bowl and wooden spoon.

1. Read the Recipe First, before Starting – there has been so many times I’ve messed up or had a failed recipe simply because I unintentionally skipped over a step, or didn’t follow a specific method. Reading ahead will help you know what to expect ahead of time.
2. Prep All Your Ingredients – measure your ingredients before starting the recipe, and have everything laid out on the counter ready-to-go. This helps to ensure you have all the ingredients needed, avoiding the need to make ingredient substitutions. In addition, it helps you ensure accurate measurements for all ingredients.
3. Measure Ingredients Accurately – this is one of the most important tips. A tasty baked good consists of accurately measured and precise ratios, as well as a recipe that has been tested many times. Luckily, half the battle is won when a recipe is well written, your job is to follow the instructions, measurements and method, spot on.
4. Measuring Wet & Dry Ingredients – for wet ingredients use clear liquid measuring cups For dry ingredients, use measuring cups and spoons.
