Start your morning with a hearty breakfast of blueberry oatmeal bread. This easy breakfast bread recipe is perfect for meal prepping on the weekend and enjoying all week long.
Blueberry season is almost wrapping up for the summer so it is the perfect time to get all you can and make them into this delicious blueberry oatmeal bread.
Hearty breakfast recipes like this blueberry oatmeal are so perfect for busy mornings because they can be a complete breakfast on their own. Plus, it is so hard to resist blueberries, oatmeal and lemon icing all together!
When using fresh blueberries, toss them in a small amount of flour before adding them to the batter. This will help them stay evenly distributed while baking.
I always use a light lemon icing on the top of my blueberry oatmeal bread. You can switch it up and do a plain, a different citrus or leave it off completely. To get the bright lemon flavor, I add lemon zest right into the powdered sugar.
This recipe makes one loaf but I always seem to have a little bit of batter leftover so I just put those into a muffin pan and make a few blueberry oatmeal muffins along with the this hearty breakfast bread recipe.
Whether you are grabbing a slice of blueberry oatmeal bread or a muffin on a busy morning, you are sure to get a hearty breakfast that is packed with fresh fruit flavors.
You can also make an extra loaf and freeze it after you bake it to make the most of summer blueberries!
