Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (tossed in 1 tbsp flour to prevent sinking)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

For Lemon Glaze:

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp lemon juice (to desired consistency)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat together sugar, lemon zest, and butter until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in milk and lemon juice.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  • For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled bread.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries, but if using frozen, do not thaw them to prevent excess moisture.
  • Toss blueberries in flour before adding to the batter to help prevent sinking.
  • Adjust the glaze thickness by adding more lemon juice for a runnier consistency or more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze.
