Lemon Raspberry Bread – a quick bread drenched with a lemon and sugar glaze is perfect for dessert, breakfast, or snack. Serve with tea or coffee.One of my favorite things to bake is a good, sweet, quick bread. Quick bread is easier than a cake (no frosting or fiddly work) and way quicker than a yeast bread (no kneading, no icing). And they can easily be served for either dessert, breakfast, or a snack. How great is that!I often see recipes with a pairing of lemon and blueberries and that is a combination that I always enjoy! However, I also really like raspberries. They’re sweet and tart and they also go so well with lemon.That’s why I used them in this delicious Lemon Raspberry Bread that I’m sharing with you today.
