Quick breads are amazing, aren’t they? I love being able to mix them together in a matter of minutes and throw it into the oven. One of my favorite kinds is lemon poppyseed. I love the texture of the tiny poppyseeds throughout and the lemon flavor is awesome.

But have you ever added a berry to a quick bread?

It is the most amazing thing ever!

It is like tiny pockets of fresh jam bursting in every bite! Honestly. I can’t even get over how amazing this bread was. I could have eaten the entire thing in one sitting if I didn’t stop myself! The bread baked perfectly moist and incredible. The lemon flavor throughout was so refreshing and delicious.

The delicious lemon flavor was perfectly sweet and tart throughout. But I do have to say that one of my favorite parts was the lemon glaze on top. Holy cow. It was the perfect finishing touch!

  1. This bread only last 15 minutes at my house. So moist and lemony with the sweet berries. Super easy to make. Started before breakfast. Served slightly warm with drizzled frosting after breakfast with coffee. We could have skipped breakfast and gone straight to the bread. Yummy

  2. I absolutely love this recipe and I lost it when we remodeled part of our kitchen last fall. I use the same recipe to make muffins — I just bake them for less time. And our black raspberries are coming in strong so its time to make for the holidays. FYI — I also freeze the muffins and they are just as good. And I use my white raspberries in this recipe as well. I knew I’d know the recipe when I saw it. Off to the store for buttermilk!

    1. That all sounds great! I am so glad that you love this recipe and have made it your own. Thanks for sharing and following along with me! XOXO

  3. I made one for myself and my mom. We all loved it and I’m making two more tomorrow. Not too sweet, very moist, and delicious. In addition, my raspberries too sank to the bottom as well when I first tried it, so for the second one, I didn’t put it in the batter. I just poured half the batter and put some raspberries on it and poured the rest and sprinkled it over top, they didn’t sank at all and stayed put on top of the loaf. It’s very easy to make.

    1. That is so great to hear! That is so sweet of you to make for your mom! I am sure she loved the homemade bread! Thanks so much for sharing! XOXO

  4. I tried it!
    We LOVE it!

    One question : my raspberries all sank to the bottom and therefore it didn’t come out of the pan well. We just ate it out of the pan and all was well. =D But for next time, how do I keep them from sinking? And when, after removing from the oven, should I take it out of the pan? While hot? warm? cold?

    Thanks! Scrumptious! Five stars!

  5. Ok, I would have never thought to put raspberries, lemon and poppy seeds all together in a bread. YUM! And yes, I love quick breads, too. It’s the ONLY way to do bread!
