Happy Tuesday! Last week I made this Lemon Lime Blueberry Loaf. I baked it the night before and then we ate it for breakfast the following day! It was quick to put together and really yum. You’ll enjoy it if you like citrus and blueberries! What makes it lemon lime? I used lemon juice and lime zest. I wanted to mix it up a bit and I love the flavor lime brings to desserts. Perfect for preparing the night before and serving to guests in the morning! 🙂 I enjoyed it with a tall glass of cold milk and a book.

Oh boy! You’ve combined LEMON and LIME in one delicious recipe!? As a girl who loves citrus in recipes (and lemon poppy seed is my favorite – most of the time – muffin), I’m in trouble. 😉 Thanks so much for sharing this, Bekah; I’ll have to snag some blueberries and try this one!
I love citrus too so I’m always trying different citrus-y recipes! (Some of them don’t make it on here because they were fails hehe.) Oo lemon poppy seed muffins are the BEST! *high five* Now that you mention it, I might just have to make some soon — they happen to be my dad’s fave as well. 🙂 Thanks so much for the sweet note, Rissi, I always appreciate it. 🙂
sounds delicious! I just picked up a 5 pound bag of limes at Costco today. I’ll be making this but need to know, did you use granulated or powdered sugar in the glaze?
