Oh how I love this Healthy Lemon Blueberry Bread… it basically tastes like Spring in the form of bread!

It’s light, sweet, lemony… a perfect combo!

This Healthy Lemon Blueberry Bread was the result of me accidentally buying waaaay too many lemons/berries. You guys all know how much I love Costco, but sometimes I get a little overzealous and think that buying lbs of produce is a good idea

(btw if you haven’t checked out The Best Whole30 Costco Shopping List you totally should!)

Thankfully berries + citrus go together beautifully, so I was more than happy to get to baking with them.

(After I of course made Instant Pot Healthy Lemon Chicken Soup, Healthy Lemon Chia Baked Oatmeal Cups, and Healthy Blueberry Baked Oatmeal in an effort to use them up!)

 This recipe is so perfect for Spring/Summer. It’s light, just a little sweet (from honey!) and perfect for breakfast or a snack. 

What makes this Lemon Blueberry Bread healthy?

• Naturally sweetened– This bread has minimal sugar, being sweetened only with honey and fresh berries
• Made with whole grains- I used whole wheat flour in this recipe rather than bleached white flour. Whole wheat flour is a great source of whole grains and so much better for you than regular white flour! This is the whole wheat pastry flour I like.

Substitutions for this Healthy Banana Bread Recipe:

• To make gluten free: replace whole wheat flour with Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten Free Flour
• I haven’t tried making this bread vegan. Here’s a Vegan Lemon Blueberry Bread Recipe. You can also subbing the egg/egg white for with flax eggs, sub honey with maple syrup, and sub greek yogurt for dairy free yogurt.

How to store Healthy Lemon Blueberry Bread:

You can store this bread covered on your counter for a few days, but I recommend keeping it in the refrigerator for maximum freshness!
