Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup milk

1 1/2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen, coated in flour)

For the glaze:

2 tablespoons melted butter

1 cup powdered sugar

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

  • In a large bowl, beat together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

  • Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

  • Gently fold in blueberries, being careful not to break them.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 5 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

  • While the bread bakes, whisk together the glaze ingredients.

  • Once the bread has cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over it. Let the bread cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Frozen blueberries work well in this recipe; just make sure to coat them in flour to prevent them from sinking.

  • If you don’t have a loaf pan, you can use a muffin tin and adjust the baking time to 25-30 minutes.

  • To make it gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend.
