Blueberry Lemon Streusel Bread

Blueberry Lemon Streusel Bread is super delicious. Made with blueberries and lemon, which is fantastic in itself but then add a streusel topping and you have fantastic. I mean let’s face it, who doesn’t like a streusel topping. I certainly do, on anything! This streusel topping is made with brown sugar, flour, oatmeal, spices and butter. You can also add nuts if you like such as walnuts or pecans.

Packed Full

Packed full of fresh blueberries, with a hint of lemon and topped with a brown sugar, butter crumb topping, this bread is super delicious. Make this yummy bread when fresh blueberries are in season for an added bonus. Store bought blueberries fill in nicely too, so you can make this yummy bread anytime. Like all quick breads, this one is also quick to make. In under an hour you will be enjoying a slice of Blueberry Lemon Streusel Bread.

Plain or with Lemon Curd

This bread really doesn’t need anything, it’s that good plain but if you must, lemon curd or a raspberry jam or jelly would be fantastic on this bread. This bread falls more in the category of a dessert or breakfast bread. I have a deep affection towards anything that has a streusel topping, which I’m positive comes from my German heritage. Depending if you serve this bread with lemon curd or jam, don’t forget the coffee! Boston Brown Bread  
is a super delicious bread that is made in a coffee can and them steamed in a large pot.
