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.

I’m glad I saw this! I’m always wanting to make bread, and then realizing that I’ve run out of eggs. It looks perfect!!
Thanks so much Sarah!!
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!
As I would love to see yours Annie. My autumn leaf resembles the beech nut leaf from our childhood home, but it’s never very colorful!
This lemon blueberries combo makes me crave for sweets. For sure, my waist will be screaming for mercy on this. But, I’ll ignore that lol..
Hehe Calleigh!! I feel your pain 🙂
Ooooh, I saw this on Instagram but missed that it’s vegan too! Awesome! Hard to find a paleo baked good that’s also vegan.
Thanks! I love trying to make things vegan and having them still taste yummy!
Love the sound of this bread. I have spelt flour in the pantry that I’ve been meaning to use so perfect timing! I wish I had a slice right now.
Thanks Catherine! It’s so yummy!
It looks delicious but spelt flour is not paleo ! maybe arrowroot flour will work or coconut flour to be paleo friendly
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!
You did such a great job figuring out a recipe for this bread. SO GOOD!
Thanks Dear!!
This bread looks amazing! I wonder whether I can use einkorn instead of spelt flour.
Hi Ellie,
I don’t see why not!!
Love the story about your Mom and Sis, Elaine! This bread looks to die for!!
Thanks so much Beth!
Oh my goodness, blueberry and lemon together is one of my favorite flavor combinations! Making these ASAP!
Yay! Thanks Whitney! I agree, I love the flavor combo!!
I am so glad that I came across this wonderful recipe – I have a container of blueberries just waiting to be used in something amazing!
Yay Jaclyn! It’s such a tasty bread, I hope you like it!
This bread looks amazing! Lemon and blueberry is such an incredible combination, and even better that it’s vegan too.
Thanks Danielle! I love making breads vegan!
Lemon blueberry bread is one of the best! Love that you have a vegan version.
Thanks Eden!
Anything Lemon has my heart and this recipe is no exception! Yum!
I agree. I love lemon in baked good! Thanks Jillian!
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!
Thanks so much Patty! I adore spelt flour in just about everything!
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 🙂
Mmmm. Blackberries in bread is amazing. I do switch up the berries in this bread!
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.
Oh yes! This looks amazing! Can’t wait to make a loaf.
Thanks Karly! You won’t be disappointed!
Banana bread is great, but it’s nice to see something a little different. I could have this any day of the week!!
The texture of this bread looks fantastic! Interesting that the wet/dry ingredients are mixed in a different order than standard baking recipes. Lemon and blueberry go SO well together – I bet this loaf would be a huge hit with my family!
What a great recipe. Love the combo and that its vegan too. So delicious. Pinned!
Wow!! This doesn’t look vegan at all. I have been curious about spelt flour but have never tried it. Where can you buy it?
I love all the nutritious whole-grain goodness here, and all those wonderful blueberries! Healthy and lots of great flavor! Definitely a yummy addition to breakfast, or a real treat for an afternoon snack!
This bread full of blueberries looks so good! I love that it’s vegan too without missing any of the flavors.
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!
