I’m so glad it is finally citrus season! It has me wanting to bake all things citrus, like this delicious lemon berry yogurt quick bread!
I love a good quick bread. They are so versatile and easy to make, and they are great to eat for breakfast, a snack or dessert. Multipurpose foods = less food waste for me.
This delicious, healthy lemon berry quick bread is made with whole wheat flour for more fiber, naturally sweetened with honey, and berry yogurt for extra moisture, flavor, and fruit!
Not only is this lemon berry quick bread full of nutritious ingredients, but it’s also absolutely delicious. It’s moist and tender, yet hearty and slightly nutty with big, beautiful berries and a tangy lemon flavor that’s just sweet enough. The tart lemon glaze makes it extra special, but it tastes just as good without the glaze.
Bake a loaf of this beautiful, healthy lemon berry quick bread on the weekend for a week’s worth of breakfast and snacks for your family, or make it for a special occasion, such as Easter brunch. It’s sure to be a crowd pleaser no matter what!
