This lemon blueberry poppy seed loaf I’m going to show you is very tasty and absolutely bursting with sweet blueberry and tart lemon flavour. Who doesn’t love that delicious contrast?
I love everything about berry season! I try to take advantage of the cheap and abundant berries while they are readily available at local farmers’ markets. Did you know that here in B.C, we have the largest highbush blueberry growing region in the world!?! If you’re like me and love berries, making yummy loaves and muffins is a great way to utilize them.
My dad loves loaves and muffins, so I am always making a treat of some kind for him (to maintain my “best daughter ever” status obviously!) When I make a loaf I typically make a second one to either give away or you know…have extra just in case I’m REALLY hungry! One time, I took the second lemon blueberry poppy seed loaf to a friend’s house for a Bachelorette viewing night. It was gone immediately. BTW…it pairs very well with any wine. I mean, I think it would! ????

This is my favourite loaf pan HERE
Blueberries are a fantastic addition to any baked goods or dessert, but blueberries on their own these berries are equally as tasteful and have high nutritional value. Did you know that a 1/2 cup of blueberries contains only 44 calories and 10% of your daily recommended vitamin C intake!?! Blueberries also rank number 1 for the highest antioxidants compared to 40 other fresh fruits and vegetables. It makes sense that people have been consuming them for over 13,000 years!

1. This looks amazing.
2. You’re photos are always fabulous.
3. Now I’m hungry.
Wow this looks incredible! I could eat this entire loaf:) It would also make the perfect hostess gift to bring someone!
Looks great – make it VEGAN- USE ALMOND or SOY or COCONUT or CASHEW MILK- SKIP THE BUTTER USE ANY VEG. OIL or margarine that does not contain PALM OIL- WHICH IS DESTROYING THE FORESTS THAT R THE ONLY HOME OF ORANGUTANS.
Looks great , MAKE IT VEGAN- SKIP the EGGS, USE ALMOND, SOY, CASHEW OR COCONUT MILK, SKIP THE BUTTER- USE ANY VEG. OIL, OR MARGARINE- IF U CAN FIND ONE THAT DOES NOT HAVE ANY PALM OIL. USE OF PALM OIL IS CAUSING THE FORESTS OF BORNEO TO BE DESTROYED – THOSE FORESTS R THE ONLY HOME OF ORANGUTANS- PLEASE WATCH ORANGUTAN ISLAND THEY R LOSING ALL THIER FOREST HOMES & R BEING MURDERED, ORPHANED ABUSED, HOMELESS.
This looks SO delicious! I wish I could grab it from your plate. Poppy seeds are a healthy option and I like them in my cakes.
This looks delicious! I’m a big fan of berries and love that it’s berry season too!

In love with this recipe! I’ve made it maybe 4 times now for family and work. A few changes for me: 3 tbsp of poppy seeds (I love the crunch), I did 3 lemons worth of zest (didn’t measure) and definitely more than a cup of blueberries.
I also wanted to mention that the sour cream is blank on the ingredients and the lemon juice is sort of left out in the instructions. It just says combine all ingredients. (I forgot the lemon juice the first time!)
Otherwise in love with this recipe. Adding to my repertoire. 🙂
HI! thanks for letting me know, I changed the recipe format and some things didn’t change over correctly.
