Blueberry Lemon Soda Bread with Lemon Essential Oil

by | Mar 25, 2017 | recipes | 2 comments

Spring is here and the weather is slowly warming up. We still have some snow on the ground, but a few nice days of sunshine this week has me excited for spring and summer and fresh berries! This amazingly delicious and simple blueberry lemon soda bread recipe is by my super talented cousin Jane Klementti. Jane is one of those home cooks who can look at an empty pantry and fridge and come up with a fantastic dinner from seemingly nothing. Jane loves to cook and is always experimenting in the kitchen and developing new recipes. You will definitely want to make this recipe. It is delicious! Fresh out of the oven there is a wonderful crunch to the top of this bread and the inside is spongy lemony blueberry goodness!

Jane tells me that her kitchen was filled with a heavenly aroma of lemon sweetness while this bread was baking. I love cooking with essential oils, each drop is packed with wonderfully vibrant taste. Lemon Essential Oil is cold pressed from the peel of the lemon. I only use certified pure therapeutic grade essential oils (CPTG) in my home and in my cooking. There are many benefits to cooking with essential oils. Essential oils provide incredible purity of flavour in such a concentrated form. You only need a few drops to add flavour to any dish. This also saves on waste and is quite economical as your bottle of essential oil will last for months when only using a few drops at a time. Only use CPTG essential oils that are safe for internal use in your cooking.

    • JenKlementti

      Hi there, I just asked Jane and she says you can substitute coconut milk instead of coconut yogurt. It’s a 1:1 substitute. Let us know if you try the recipe.

HEY THERE, I’M JEN.

I help fun loving women feel more ALIVE, at peace and healthy, even if they sometimes skip the kale and have wine with lunch.
