Sweet Blueberry, Lemon and Thyme Bread Recipe

July 28, 2014 By Kristi Rimkus 7 Comments

Sweet Blueberry, Lemon and Thyme Bread RecipeEven those of us who love to cook need a break from the kitchen, so Sunday mornings we head off to Starbucks for coffee and a treat.
That leaves us with Saturday mornings to figure out what’s on the morning menu. On this particular Saturday, blueberry bread made an appearance with our morning jolt of caffeine.

Blueberry Bread

This cook can’t make a typical quick bread with blueberries and nuts in the bowl, she has to add a twist to keep things interesting. This why you’ll find fresh lemon and sweet, woodsy thyme in this bread recipe.

Sweet Blueberry, Lemon and Thyme Bread Recipe

A few recipes ago, I told you about The Flavor Bible. It’s “The Essential Guide to Culinary Creativity, Based on the Wisdom of America’s Most Imaginative Chefs.”  If you get a chance be sure to pick one up.

The combination of ingredients for this blueberry bread recipe were inspired by this cook’s favorite resource. It would never have occurred to me to add thyme to a sweet bread.

Before I head of to work this lovely Monday morning, I need to announce the winners of last week’s NuNaturals giveaway.

Congratulations to Juliana, Angie, Dionne and John. I’ll be contacting you for your mailing information so Ron can ship off a box of his fantastic stevia products. Enjoy!

That’s it folks. Have a terrific week!

Shake it up! Blackberries would work well in this bread too. Raspberries would be too tender and most likely fall apart.

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg whites
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • ¾ cup sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a bread pan generously with cooking spray and dust with flour. (I used a medium sized baking dish for fun.)
  2. Combine eggs, almond milk, sugar, butter and lemon juice in a large bowl.
  3. Combine flour and baking powder in another bowl and then gently fold flour mixture into egg mixture until combined.
  4. Fold in blueberries and thyme.
  5. Pour into the baking dish and bake for 50 - 60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    I am one of the winners? wow...FANTASTIC! This blueberry quick bread looks wholesome, Kristi. I love the combination of thyme and blueberries. If using frozen berries, do I need to thaw them? Have a beautiful week! Angie

      Hi Angie! I don't thaw them because they get soggy, don't you agree? Be sure and let me know if for some reason your package doesn't arrive and I'll connect with Ron. Congrats!

    The Flavor Bible is really a terrific book! I have a copy and use it often. Anyway, what a lovely combo of flavors in this bread! Terrific job -- thanks.

      I've been really learning a ton about flavor combinations for a recent purchase of The Flavor Bible. If you don't have one, you should check it out on Amazon. It's quite popular, and really fun to thumb through! Have a wonderful weekend!
