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.

    This bread look fabulous; lemon and blueberry is a killer combo!! – I love the meaning behind your tattoos; I got a star at 18 to rebel against my parents because I’d been a good girl all my life… then kind of regretted it later because really I AM a good girl haha!! I thought I’d never get another one, but when our dog passed in April, (she was called Poppy) I felt the strongest urge to have a poppy flower somewhere on me as something to remember her by. I’m terrified of needles, but I went through the pain for her. I also want an Autumnal leaf somewhere as she loved crunchy leaves; I’ve never heard of anyone else with one! I’d love to see a pic!

      You are so right. Taking all the paleo references out. It’s funny, I originally took it out and then this morning before I published the post, I put it back in thinking it was paleo! Thanks for pointing that out!

    Lemon and blueberries, such a delicious combo, one of my favorite! Up to now I’ve only used spelt flour to make rustic breads, I have to try using it in desserts and this cake seems to be the best of starts! Pinning for later!

    I picked some wild blackberries last week and made a blackberry lemon loaf. Though, mine wasn’t vegan. It’s also blueberry season around here so this bread would be lovely to make! Looks super moist and would be perfect with my coffee right about now 🙂

    I love the flavour combination of lemon and blueberries. I have not tried this is a VEGAN loaf. Although I don’t need to, I have experimented with several gluten-free recipes in the past. I need to have some on hand when friends come over to visit. I would devour this for breakfast, warmed up, covered in butter LOL!!

      Thanks, Gloria. Everything is better with butter! I love making breads gluten free too! This one isn’t but switching out the spelt flour with a combo of almond flour, coconut flour and tapioca flour is also great in this bread. I’ve done it both ways in the past.

    Lemon and blueberry are so good… And I’ve finally started working with almond flour – I love it in quick breads like this!

    I have been looking for new breads to try out for breakfast at my house! School mornings are hard (we are not morning people) so bread like this is always a great idea!
