BLUEBERRY LEMON LAVENDER BREAD with two cups of blueberries and lemon slices

Good morning friends, I have been on a lavender kick lately, I just love the flavor and the scent. Just before the kitchen was “shut down” for the demolition and remodel I decided to make one last lavender recipe combining some classic summer flavors, blueberry and lemon. This blueberry lemon lavender bread with lemon glaze was the result.

It is basically a quick bread and it is tart, sweet and delicious. This bread takes me back to summer days visiting Provence where the lavender is in the fields, on the table and in just about every product you can think of.

HOW TO MAKE BLUEBERRY LEMON LAVENDER BREAD

  1. Preheat your oven. Prepare a loaf pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
  2. In a small  bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the lavender buds and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream and sugar until smooth. Then add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla, mix well.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Then gently fold in the blueberries.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake.
  6. While waiting for the loaf to cool prepare the glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the bread and garnish with a few lavender buds.
  7. Enjoy

That’s it, an easy, delicious snack, dessert or sweet treat for breakfast. I like to make two and keep one in the freezer for guests or to give to a friend.

I know that it has been a heat wave in many parts of the country so if you don’t want to turn on your oven just bookmark this post for a later date. Or make a batch of mini-loaves in your toaster oven.

    Food that can be for any meal is my ideal as I don’t like leftovers being around too long. Not that I think this would hang around too long!

    What a wonderful tea bread recipe, Elizabeth!! Funny, this is often why I choose certain posts to feature and it’s specifically so I can save the recipe, lol! 😉 I did feature your post at this week’s Share Your Style #351, which I think you already know (I forget who commented back at the moment.) I’ll have to find some organic lavender buds at Whole Foods when I go next time and hopefully next year my little lemon trees will be creating more lemons (there’s one on one tree…), which would make it really easy to bake this for an afternoon snack. The new Meyer lemon trees will be living indoors with the mandarin orange this winter. 😀

    And since my daughter Amy and I are traveling next month to France, I will have to look for some really neat treats while we are there! (and watch the sugars, ugh!) Amy is already so excited to try the desserts but I look forward to all the croissants and baguettes for breakfast and lunches. 🙂 I love bread!

    Happy 4th of July to you,
    Barb 🙂

    Thank you for the recipe!!! 😀

I’m not sure how much help we were because I am pretty sure that we are our body weight in peaches. We were a sticky mess by the end of the day with a belly full of Michigan’s finest peaches. Those were the days. #peaches #ncpeaches #thefirstpeachoftheyear #naturesfinest #summerfruit #peach #pineconesandacornsblog #memories
