Lemon Blueberry Bread ~ Living on CookiesYesterday at the store I saw they are still selling fresh local blueberries and I thought, Yay! It’s not too late to share this recipe for one of the best things I’ve ever made: Lemon Blueberry Bread. In the original recipe this is called Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake but I find calling it Lemon Blueberry Bread makes it sound healthy like banana bread or muffins. Which are totally acceptable breakfast and snack foods. I mean, lemons and blueberries are fruits, right?

Lemon Blueberry Bread ~ Living on CookiesLemon Blueberry Bread is great for breakfast or enjoyed warm and fresh out of the oven as a late-night snack. It is very, very moist and melts in your mouth and the flavor is dynamite. We love the vanilla-lemon-blueberry combo here.
