Lemon Blueberry Oat Bread
This Lemon Blueberry Oat Bread is the perfect sweet coffee break snack! It's easy to make and packed with whole grains for a healthy twist!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup rolles oats
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- zest of 2 lemons
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a standard loaf pan by greasing it well with butter and lining with parchment paper.
Whisk together the all purpose flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and lemon zest.
Add the blueberries and toss to coat.
In a glass liquid measuring cup or small bowl combine the milk, oil, and eggs, mixing with a fork to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold together with a rubber spatula just until combined.
Pour into the prepared loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then remove to a wire rack to cool almost completely before slicing and serving.
Recipe Notes
To use frozen blueberries in this recipe, simply replace the fresh blueberries with frozen ones making sure to coat them in the flour mixture very, very well. This will prevent them from colouring the batter purple and will also prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf while baking.

Rosemary says
Excellent recipe
Moist and good flavour
I added 1 cup of whole wheat flour to increase the whole grains and it was very good. I also added the juice of half a lemon.
Thanks for the recipe I will be making this often as it is packed with whole grains.
Chrissie says
I’m so glad you liked the recipe! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!
Marley says
Can i substitute the all purpose flour with whole wheat flour?
Chrissie says
I’d suggest doing half and half for the best results. Whole wheat flour is a little drier and therefore the bread might be a little too crumbly. Feel free to give it a try and adjust the liquid a little bit and see what happens!
Dita says
I made this for the first time. It was ok but maybe that is because I made a few modifications. I did 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup oat bran and then the 1 cup of oats. I used brown sugar instead of white (which I do with all recipes) and I subbed out 1/4 c of the milk for lemon juice.
I found it a little bland. So my questions are:
Would it be sweeter if I would’ve used white sugar?
Would the lemon flavour be more prominent if I would’ve used lemons instead of Meyer lemons?
Chrissie says
Yes to both of your questions 🙂 Although this recipe isn’t intended to be very, very sweet.
Bee says
Can I use soymilk instead? I used a cup of Greek yogurt and juice of 1 large lemon. It was very dense and wondered if I should have used more liquid but it turned out really good.
Chrissie says
It is a dense loaf, mostly because of the oats. 🙂 Soy milk would also be ok.
