Citrus Blueberry Loaf with Meyer Lemon Glaze {quick and easy version!}

I don't know about where you are, but Spring was here. It was awesome! And then it left....but hopefully by the weekend it will be back. (Fingers crossed!) The warmer temperatures and amazing sunshine really put me in the mood for everything citrus! Lemon, lime, orange...you name it, and I've probably pinned it in the past couple of weeks. The only problem with having a huge list of things on my "to bake" list is finding the time to actually make them. The kids have had sports, then they got sick with all the pollen and stuff floating around, my little guy's asthma acted up...the list goes on. SO, enter the quick and easy recipes that I love so much - like this one!

This bread starts with a mix and has a hint of citrus from lemon and orange zest. Then it is topped with a glaze made with Meyer lemons that really gives it a pop of sweet lemon flavor that makes your taste buds do a happy dance!

Glaze is good. Am I right, or am I right?

Look at that gorgeous color! Mother Nature may not be screamin' spring where you are, but this is! It gets the rich yellow color from the eggs, and I used farm fresh eggs (for the first time ever) and was amazed at their vibrant color. If you follow me on Instagram you probably saw a pic. 

Citrus Blueberry Loaf with Meyer Lemon Glaze

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Recipe adapted from Krusteaz

The only thing I would do different is to add some additional fresh or frozen blueberries. You could also skip the glaze or use orange juice in the place of the lemon juice. For more quick and easy recipe ideas, check out the Krusteaz website. They have several recipes using their mixes as a base, which is pretty darn convenient. They even have a special section for Easter! Next on my list...Cinnamon Rolls made with their Country White Bread mix. My kids looovvveee cinnamon rolls!
