Learn how to make delicious Blueberry Peach Loaf Recipe with Lemon Drizzle. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Gathering your ingredients is like preparing for a culinary adventure. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup diced peaches (fresh or canned)
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can easily substitute it with a mixture of milk and lemon juice or vinegar. Just add one tablespoon of lemon juice to a measuring cup, fill with milk to make a cup, and let it sit for a few minutes.

Instructions

Let’s bring this delightful loaf to life, step by step:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk. Mix until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just mixed. Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
  5. Fold in the blueberries, peaches, and lemon zest, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The loaf should be golden brown and fragrant.
  8. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the lemon drizzle, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled loaf.

There’s something magical about watching a few simple ingredients transform into something special. This loaf is a testament to that magic.
