Raspberry Lemon Bread with Glaze (she: Zainab)

Hello OSSS friends…it’s Zainab from Blahnik Baker here again to share with you a delicious, sweet, raspberry lemon bread recipe. I know we are in the heart of summer and most of you are probably almost done with your summer bucket list by now. Was making a fruity summer sweet bread one of those? It surely was on mine!! I love sweet breads but I don’t get to make them very often because I am always wary of the not-so healthy amounts of butter and oil in most. But I took the time this summer to look for a delicious, sort-of-healthy version. Of course having fresh raspberries in it made it so easy!!

This raspberry lemon bread is made with white whole wheat flour and hazelnut flour. The nutty flavor and texture of hazelnuts are incredible with fresh raspberries. The amount of oil used is less than most recipes out there and this uses Greek yogurt for added moisture. This summer bread is everything a great sweet bread should be; so moist, crumbly and delicious. The lemon glaze to go with it is just the perfect added tang.

I hope you find time this summer to try this raspberry lemon bread!! You will LOVE it and it is so easy to make your own. Change the flavors of the bread, use coconut extract if you love coconut, switch out the berries for your favorites. You get the gist 🙂
