Blueberry Bread Ingredients

16.9 ounces Blueberry Muffin Mix (1 box)
½ cup whole milk
⅓ cup lemon juice
2 eggs beaten
Lemon zest optional

Lemon Glaze Ingredients:

½ cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a medium size mixing bowl, with a fork, mix together 1 box of blueberry muffin mix (set the blueberries aside), milk, eggs, and lemon juice.
Drain, rinse, and dry the can of blueberries from the box of muffin mix and slowly add them to the batter.
Line a 1.6 qt. glass loaf pan with parchment paper and pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 40 minutes or until the center is set.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, lift the parchment paper from the pan and set on a cooling rack.
Make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Stir until smooth.
Drizzle glaze over the bread, garnish with lemon zest (optional), and let cool for another 10-15 minutes.

Notes

How To Store Blueberry Muffin Bread

- Room temperature: Wrap the cooled loaf with plastic wrap and it will keep well for two days.
- Refrigerator: Or, store it in the refrigerator and it will keep for a few days longer. Just make sure it’s tightly wrapped because it can dry out when it’s chilled.
- Freezer: Wrap the loaf in a few layers of plastic wrap and place it in a freezer bag. You can freeze blueberry bread for up to two months. Or, you can freeze individually wrapped slices to enjoy whenever you want a quick breakfast or snack.

What Can You Add To Blueberry Muffin Mix To Make It Better?

Milk: I like to use whole milk because it has more fat – this adds flavor and moisture!

Lemon juice: Adding this enhances the flavor and also adds a nice fresh lemon flavor.

More berries: You can add more fresh or frozen berries to the batter if you like. Add up to a cup more! You can do more blueberries or other berries that you like.
