Air Fryer Lemon Blueberry Bread Recipe Tips
Air Fryer Lemon Blueberry Bread Recipe Tips-
Use fresh blueberries: Frozen berries can release extra moisture and make the batter watery.
-
Don’t overmix: Gently fold in blueberries to prevent them from breaking and turning the batter purple.
-
Room temperature ingredients: Butter, eggs, and milk at room temperature help create a smoother, evenly baked loaf.
-
Check doneness early: Air fryers vary; start checking with a toothpick at 20–22 minutes.

-
Refrigerator: Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.

Freezing: Wrap the cooled loaf in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
Air Fryer Lemon Blueberry Bread Recipe Faqs
Why is my bread burning on top but raw in the middle? This is common in air fryers. Lower the temperature slightly (e.g., from 350°F to 325°F) and increase the cooking time. If the top still browns too quickly, loosely tent the bread with aluminum foil for the last half of the baking time.
Should I use fresh or frozen blueberries? You can use either! If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first. Gently toss the frozen berries with 1 tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter; this prevents them from sinking to the bottom.
What size pan fits in my air fryer? Pan sizes vary widely depending on your air fryer model. Generally, a small 6×3 inch or 7 x3 inch loaf pan works for basket-style models, but always measure your basket/tray before starting.
How do I prevent the bread from sticking to the pan? Ensure you grease your pan thoroughly with butter or cooking spray, and line the bottom with a small piece of parchment paper cut to fit. This makes for easy removal once the bread is cooled.
Can I skip the lemon zest or glaze? While you can, the lemon zest and the optional glaze provide the bright, signature tang that perfectly balances the sweet berries. Using just the juice won’t provide the same intense aroma and flavor.

My stove’s oven has a Convection setting, which I believe works like an airfryer. Would I use the same temperature & time? Also, if using one loaf pan, what size should I use and how long to bake? Thank you!

I would reduce the temperature to about 300 degrees F, but it will take longer. So, check frequently. You can use either a regular size loaf pan or a mini loaf pan.
