Description

A delightful quick bread recipe combining vibrant lemon zest and juicy blueberries for a perfectly moist and flavorful treat, ideal for breakfast or dessert.


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) 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 fresh or frozen blueberries
For the Glaze:
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice


Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line with parchment paper leaving an overhang on the sides for easy lifting.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk until well combined.
Step 4: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
Step 5: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Step 6: In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour (taken from the measured 2 cups). Gently fold the floured blueberries into the batter by hand.
Step 7: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
Step 8: Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (not wet batter).
Step 9: Let the bread cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes, then carefully remove it and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10: While the bread cools, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 1-2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice until smooth. Adjust juice to reach desired consistency.
Step 11: Drizzle the glaze over the cooled lemon blueberry bread. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For the best flavor and texture, ensure your eggs and milk are at room temperature before you begin mixing the batter. Tossing blueberries in flour helps prevent them from sinking.
