Notes
Substitute blueberries with raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries.
Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for crunch.
Use gluten-free flour blend to make gluten-free.
Replace lemon zest/juice with orange for sweeter citrus flavor.
Add ¼ cup plant-based milk to wet ingredients for extra moistness.
Thaw frozen blueberries completely and drain excess moisture to avoid sogginess.
Coat berries in flour before adding to prevent sinking.
Store bread airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate/freeze for longer storage.
