It’s creamy… it’s sweet… it’s zesty. It’s Glazed Lemon Bread! 

Oh boy. This Glazed Lemon Bread is SO GOOD.

The lemon flavor just makes it taste so fresh and exciting.

It also has the perfect amount of sweet, which is when it’s sweet but not too sweet.

Also, let’s face it. The glaze delicately drizzled over the top takes it up a notch. It looks fancy.

Like maybe it was baked to perfection in a quaint, cute little coffee shop.

This bread makes for a great snack or dessert, and also goes nicely in a lunchbox. If we ever get to use those again 😉

And since it’s so fancy looking, you could bake it and wrap it up as a gift!
