Recipe - Blackberry Bread

I'm not the most active cook in our home. Jacob usually takes the cake on that one! I do cook and bake, sometimes, though. Every once in a while, I will come across a recipe on Pinterest that looks too good to pass up. They don't always turn out looking as pretty as the Pinterest photos, but 99% of the time they taste wonderful! Although, there was this one time where I attempted to make white bean and avocado burritos. For anyone thinking that it sounds like a quick and healthy meal, don't do it (it tastes like paste).

I found this blackberry bread recipe, though, and it turned out delicious! It was perfect, during the summer, when our blackberry bush was full of fresh berries. I was able to pick and make three loaves, before the pesky birds got to the berries. I've tried this same exact recipe, with fresh blueberries, and it tasted just as great.

INGREDIENTS:
1-1/2 cups of flour
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp of baking powder
1/8 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1-1/2 cups of fresh berries
1 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of milk
1/2 cup of butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 tsp of lemon zest
2 tbsp of lemon juice

DIRECTIONS:
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon.
Gently toss in the berries.
-In a different medium bowl, combine sugar and next 5 ingredients and mix until all combined.
-Add the sugar mixture to the berry mixture and gently stir until evenly blended.
-Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
-Cool on wire rack for 10 minutes still in the loaf pan, then remove it from the pan and let cool for about an hour.
