    This vegan lemon blueberry bread recipe is so tasty it’s one of my favorite breads. The lemon and blueberry flavors complement each other perfectly which makes this bread a great addition to any breakfast table.

    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 is a moist bread, but when you test it, your cake tester should come out clean.
    • Let the bread cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before removing it and placing it on a wire rack.
    • Wait another 10 minutes before cutting it into slices and make it easy on yourself and use a serrated bread knife.

      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!

      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.

      I have been craving the lemon blueberry combo for sometime now so I found this recipe and make it today. I let it cook for so long (we’ll over one hour) and it absolutely did not cook through. I don’t know what happened or why it wouldn’t cook. All the edges were nice and crispy but the middle never was able to cook. I won’t make it again

        I’m sorry to hear that Luisa. It is a moist bread, but it should have cooked through. I wonder if our ovens differ in heat or our altitudes are different.

            I actually think for the amount of liquid more flour is required. But like I said really like the flavor just will make some adjustments in my end.
