Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 cups whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Fruits
  • 1.5 cups fresh blueberries Coated with flour to prevent sinking.
  • 1 tablespoon flour To coat the blueberries.
Optional Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Baking
  1. In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with one tablespoon of flour. This prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the bread.
  2. Gently fold the flour-coated blueberries into the batter using a spatula.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  4. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then move it to a wire rack.
  6. If using the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar and lemon juice together. Drizzle it over the warm bread.
