Lemon Bread

October 13, 2017 by Kristin 14 Comments

This bread is a treat for anyone! Full of tasty lemon flavor, moist, and quick to prepare….this is a favorite with everyone!

Have you tried the Lemon Bread from Starbucks?? Oh boy! It is soooooo yummy! I could eat a slice for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, or even dessert. That’s just how yummy it is!!

Recently, I went to Starbucks to grab a coffee. I hadn’t had breakfast yet, so I decided to splurge and get a slice of their lemon bread. Unfortunately, they were completely sold out the morning I went and I didn’t get my sweet treat. Since I was still in the mood and heading to the grocery store anyways, I decided to buy some lemons and try an at home version.

Well, I went home, whipped a batch up and it was nasty. It was way too sour, not sweet at all, and not even moist. Epic fail! But, I was determined to try again, and since I had bought a big bag of lemons, I whipped up attempt number two. The end result was MUCH better! Just the right amount of lemon, quite moist, very quick to prepare, and my hubby/kids all loved it as well!!

Next time you are in the mood for lemon bread, skip Starbucks and make this recipe! It makes a lot more than the one slice you’d buy and is much more affordable!!

Enjoy!

    Absolutely! Just toss the berries in some flour to prevent them from sinking in the bread! Enjoy!

    I need a really good Banana “Cake” recipe if you have on available. I don’t like lemon flavored anything, but I’m sure it’s really good for those who do! Looks beautiful!
