This Blueberry Lemon Loaf is so soft and moist – you’re absolutely going to love it! It’s a very straightforward recipe to follow and the combination of blueberries and lemon gives a lovely flavor. This loaf is also freezer friendly so if there’s just yourself or the two of you at home, cut the finished loaf in half and freeze one half. That way you will have a nice supply of blueberry and lemon loaf on hand whenever you feel the urge for a slice of loaf! You could also make ahead if you wanted to prepare for a pot luck or a party. It’s so delicious!

Blueberry Lemon Loaf, Oh my goodness! if you love Starbucks Lemon Loaf and enjoy a slice or three with a nice cup of tea, then you will love this recipe! I’ve used frozen blueberries, but of course, fresh will also work.

To stop the blueberries from sinking to the bottom during baking

The challenge with the blueberries is preventing them from sinking to the bottom in the loaf pan when you pour the batter in, thus creating a blueberries at the bottom loaf – that’s what happened in my first attempt at this recipe 🙂 To stop the blueberries from sinking to the bottom during baking, place the blueberries in a bag and add a couple of tablespoons of flour. Give it a toss so the blueberries are coated. Voila! No more sinking blueberries 🙂

How to prevent your loaf from sticking to the pan

This is another challenge with making a loaf.  The secret is to grease your pan, then line it with parchment paper.

Step 1. Grease your tin then lay it your pan on top of some greaseproof paper making sure the paper is big enough to cover up the sides of the pan.  Be sure to place your pan in the middle of the paper. Cut slits on all four corners of the paper to the corners of your pan.

Step 2. Carefully place the greaseproof paper inside the tin, and where you have made the cuts, they will overlap over each other nicely.

Step 3. Cut off all the excess paper, and use a little butter or oil to stick any paper down if it has come away from the tin.

Step 4. And presto! Now you have a nice neatly lined cake tin

Here’s the recipe for Blueberry Lemon Loaf, enjoy!

  1. I followed the recipe exactly. Just now. It is back in the oven for the third amount of extra time…it is swimming in butter and perhaps other liquid. Too much butter? Too many eggs? I’m devastated. It smells divine. Has the appearance of a beautiful, old-fashioned crumbly crust…if you can look past the excess liquid. Typo in the recipe? Who else has made this?

    1. Hi Jen, I’m sorry your Blueberry Lemon Loaf did not turn out right. Perhaps you used 1/2 cup of flour instead of 1 1/2 cups? I will try remaking this recipe later this week in order to see if I can recreate the problem.

    2. @Janice – Salads for Lunch, no, got the amounts right in flour and everything else. The batter looked perfect and smelled fantastic going in the oven! Coming out, it was swimming in excess butter. I honestly think the butter amount should be adjusted down…1/2 cup perhaps?
      Look forward to hearing your results, Janice! Thanks for the quick response! Jen

  2. I just made this dish this morning. Very tasty! However, the trick with the floured blueberries didn’t seem to work for me. Most blueberries settled towards the bottom 3rd of the loaf.
