The snow is falling, the wind is blowing, and we are all bundling up for the long winter ahead! While trapped inside of the house for days on end, it’s hard not to sit and daydream about warm, tropical climates with the sand between your toes, and a hot cabana boy delivering fruity drinks with cute umbrellas.

Then you hear the sound of a snowplow going down the street, and you are slapped back into reality!

Not only is is bitterly cold outside, but there is also a flu epidemic spreading across the country. 🙁 My solution…..avoid leaving the house whenever possible!! I would much rather stay home, turn on the warm oven, and bake a loaf or two of this delicious Lemon Blackberry Bread…..

Not only do lemons scream summer {and warm weather}, they also contain strong antibacterial, antiviral, and immune-boosting powers. Paired with blackberries, which are an excellent source of Vitamin C, you are well on your way to boosting your immunity against those nasty flu germs! But sometimes that just isn’t enough…..

If a close friend or family member happens to be taken down by a bug, why not surprise them {without entering their home of course} with a fresh baked loaf of Lemon Blackberry Bread, and an assortment of Bigelow tea and Truvia® sweetner packets to help make their world a sweeter place!!

I Love Lemon with Vitamin C and Green Tea with healthy antioxidants are my personal favorites for a get well basket. 🙂

How to make Lemon Blackberry Bread:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 5- inch loaf pan with baking spray, set aside. In a large bowl, beat together butter and Truvia® Baking Blend until light and fluffy…..

Add the yogurt, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla and beat to combine…..

Stir in flour, baking powder, and baking soda, stirring only until combined. In a small bowl, mix blackberries with 1 Tablespoon of flour…..

Add the blackberries to mixture {minus the additional flour} and gently stir to combine…..

Pour mixture into prepared loaf pan…..

and bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. There is nothing better on a ridiculously cold day, than a hot cup of Bigelow tea to warm you up from the inside!!

I used Truvia® Baking Blend to make this moist and delicious Lemon Blackberry Bread…..

Truvia® Baking Blend is a blend of Truvia® Natural Sweetener and sugar with 75% fewer calories per serving than sugar. It bakes and browns like sugar, but you use half as much. Half a cup of Truvia® Baking Blend is as sweet as of 1 cup of sugar. Same great tasting treats, with fewer calories!!

Truvia’s natural sweetness comes straight from the leaves of the stevia plant. You can use it in coffee and tea and on cereal, fruit, oatmeal, and yogurt. I can’t wait to make a zero-calorie simple syrup to use in my lemonade and cocktails this summer! 😉
