    Blackberry Lemon Bread

    August 2, 2021 by Megan Calipari Leave a Comment

    This Blackberry Lemon Bread is a simple, super moist loaf and is the perfect way to use up some fresh summer berries. And it gets made right in one bowl making clean up a breeze!

    Blackberries are one of my favorite fruits and this summer I've been baking with them a LOT. They are so flavorful and sweet- I just cant get enough of them. And this Blackberry Lemon Bread may be my favorite blackberry recipe yet.

    Ingredients

    The ingredients for this Blackberry Lemon Bread are really simple, so you likely won't need much substitution help. But, let's break them all down anyway.

    Flour: I used regular all purpose flour in this recipe. My favorite flour brand is King Arthur.

    Leaveners: A combination of baking powder and baking soda help this bread rise high and helps the bread stay fluffy. Baking soda reacts quickly with the lemon juice. The baking powder acts more slowly as the bread is baked in the oven.

    Sugar: Regular old granulated sugar sweetens this bread up.

    Lemon Zest and Juice: The lemon zest provides so much flavor in this . The lemon juice also provides flavor but also reacts with the baking soda to help this bread rise.

    I mean just look at that interior! Studded with fresh juicy blackberries.

    Oil: I like to use canola, but any neutral tasting oil, like vegetable or safflower will work in this recipe.

    Non-Dairy Yogurt: I used Forager Plain Unsweetened Yogurt. But I have also used So Delicious Plain Unsweetened Yogurt. Both work great! Any plain unsweetened yogurt will work- just DON'T substitute greek yogurt. It is too thick.

    Non-Dairy Milk: I always bake with So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk. I love it because I can buy it in shelf stable boxes and always have it on hand whenever the urge to bake strikes.

    Vanilla: I added a hefty dose of vanilla to this bread because everything needs a hefty dose of vanilla.

    Blackberries: Plenty of blackberries stud this bread with bursts of freshness and flavor. Be sure to cut the berries in half so they will be distributed evenly.

    How to Prepare the Loaf Pan

    I've prepared a lot of loaf pans in a lot of different ways in my baking career. Here is ,y favorite way:

    First, grease the pan with non-stick pan spray, coconut oil or shortening.

    Then, insert a parchment sling so that there is a bit of parchment that comes above the sides of the pan.

    The sling does two things: it stops the Blackberry Lemon Bread from sticking to the sides of the loaf pan.

    And, it also allows for easy removal from the loaf pan. That way the loaf can be easily removed and placed onto a cutting board to be sliced.

    To cut the sling, simply pull the parchment from the roll and measure how much you will need using the loaf pan and cut.

    Storage

    This Blackberry Lemon Loaf stores best at room temperature.

    Either wrap it up lightly with plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container on the counter top for up to four days.

    You CAN freeze it, but so that it doesn't stick together you will need to place parchment in between each slice. That way you can easily take it out slice by slice.

    In my house it doesn't last more than four days so I keep it on the counter top. It makes a delicious breakfast, snack or dessert!
