I discovered this bread when we went to a coffee shop in Northampton (MA). It was a vegan lemon blueberry millet bread that Christopher and I chowed down the last time we were there.

And although I thought it was delicious, I didn’t really like the crunch of the millet. Not sure why. So, I decided to make my own version but without the millet.
