GLAZE:

This is my go-to recipe for quick breads.  Super tasty, glaze is great as it soaks in while the bread is warm and give is a flavor burst.  Make two and freeze one, you will be glad you did

Absolutely delicious! I added a cup of raisins and went generous on the blueberries. Also I divided my sugar into half raw/brown and half white/granulated for extra flavour. Made my own glaze by combining 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1/2 cup confectioners sugar, teaspoon vanilla essence and 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice. Made the bread extremely moist and tangy! Loved this and enjoyed cooking it too. If I remembered I would have added some vanilla essence into the bread mix too! But works fine without it too.

This bread was excellent. The glaze is the star of the show for this recipe. We used fresh blueberries, which made a big difference too.  I've also made into muffins and they were all well received. This is a keeper!

This is so delicious!  Total winner!  Easy to make too!

This is wonderful!!  Easy to prepare and always appreciated!!

This recipe was excellent thank you !  For the ones that mention the butter for the glaze obviously  didnt read the recipe properly ! It says glaze ingredient :sugar and lemon juice!  If you going to complaint when a chef kindly share their work then maybe you need to remove yourself from their following !

I thought this was a delicious recipe. I used frozen blueberries, full cream milk and a pecan walnut blend. It was superb. Cooked a a toy an hour and was crunchy in the outside, light and fluffy inside. Not sure why some people are saying it’s dense and heavy, maybe not enough baking powder? I wouldn’t change a thing although I’m keen to try it with variations. Orange, raspberry and macadamia anyone? Thank you.

I have tried a couple blueberry lemon loaf recipes but this is the one I've returned to!  I find it to be more cake/dessert like or a yummy snack. I use frozen blueberries and it works perfect. I mixed icing sugar with lemon juice to make the glaze and it keeps the loaf moist and adds an extra punch of lemon. Definitely my go-to Blueberry Lemon Loaf!!

I won a “best in bread” ribbon for this Quick bread at our local county fair. Made this exactly as written

This is the easiest bread to make. Always have all ingredients on hand. I do not add the nuts. The butter is in the bread part NOT in the glaze. I can not understand how some people thought the butter was in the glaze. And, I agree, I have to cook about 10 minutes longer. Could be my oven. This never disappoints and could certainly be changed up using other berries and juice.

Easy to make and delicious, used fresh blueberries and chopped pecans. Will definitely make again, thank you!

Loved it! Used gluten free flour instead of regular Flour. Otherwise flowed recipe and it came out great!

So beautiful, delicious, and easy to make!! Mine turned out very brown and crisp on the outside by the time the inside was cooked (fluffy and moist) and I was wondering if anyone had any tips to prevent the outside from becoming more crust like than cake like?

Yummy! Lemon and blueberry are a match made in Heaven loved this quick and easy to make bread!

Really yummy!  Mine did take a lot longer to bake - maybe because I used the convection option on my oven.  But the bread turned out great!

I can't jump for joy for this bread. Taste is excellent. I live at sea level. I've made this twice. Mine does not rise as well as the photo. Not a fluffy/grainy bread. I think the suggested oven temp is too hot. I used frozen blueberries both times. I recommend half-cup of berries. Also, fresh blueberries would probably bleed less. I did toss the berries in a tablespoon of flour. Old folks idea to keep berries from sinking.  BUT The glaze is totally wrong. Use confectioners sugar. This version is a useless syrup.

I used frozen huckleberries in mine & omitted the nuts. It baked up very moist and tender. Thank you for the recipe!

This is absolutely the best lemon blueberry bread in the world. Followed recipe as is but left out nuts. Didn’t need glaze. Yummly!
