Lemon Blueberry Swirl Bread – Recipe!

Quick Breads are simple to bake and make a great breakfast, dessert or snack in the afternoon.  What I love most about them is their delicate crumb and that you can swirl any type of fresh or frozen fruit in the batter to create the most magnificent treat.

Desserts don’t always need to be fancy, just flavorful and my family all adores a good quick bread.  This recipe I prepared while visiting my parents, and as you can see they all loved it – fresh, warm right out of the oven with just a dusting of powdered sugar.

During this season, I thought baking a bread that had both a hint of citrus; like lemon, combined with blueberries would be incredibly good.  In this recipe, I used both fresh and frozen blueberries because that’s what I had on hand – they both baked up beautifully in this bread.  The colorful swirl is just a bonus to the taste because it surely is delicious.
