Healthy Lemon Bread with Blueberries

Indulge guilt-free in our delicious lemon bread packed with juicy blueberries. A healthy treat for your taste buds!

There are many different ways of getting out of the comfort zone. Cooking is one of them. Then there is trying something different you have never done before. How about eating something you have never had before?

That's where healthy Lemon Bread with Blueberries comes in. Let me introduce you to the bread you will love forever. Lemon Bread with Blueberries

It's practically impossible not to adore this delightful loaf of bread. Thanks to honey as a natural sweetener, it's incredibly delicious without being overly sweet. Adding juicy blueberries lends a lovely sweetness to the loaf, enhancing its natural flavor. Here at HH, we strive to minimize using cane sugar whenever possible, although sometimes necessary, especially when preparing my mom's cherished Greek dessert recipes.

I'm always delighted to prepare this loaf for my family, as it incorporates wholesome ingredients like whole wheat flour, honey, Greek yogurt, avocado oil, blueberries, and lemon. To ensure a smooth texture, ensure your eggs and yogurt are at room temperature before mixing. You can opt for any liquid sweetener such as honey, maple syrup, or agave—it all works beautifully. I prefer using 5% fat Greek yogurt for added richness.

5. Stir in the Greek yogurt, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
