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 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons fresh grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup milk
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries for tossing in 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1-Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F and get a 9″x5″ loaf pan ready with parchment paper or butter. This step sets the stage for even baking and easy removal later.
2-Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. This ensures everything blends smoothly and helps the bread rise nicely.
3-Step 3: In a mixer, blend the melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well mixed. This creates a creamy base thatβs full of that bright lemon taste.
4-Step 4: Add the flour mixture and milk in two batches, mixing gently each time. Then, toss the blueberries in 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour before folding them into the batter to keep them from sinking.
5-Step 5: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 30 minutes before moving to a wire rack, then drizzle on the glaze made from melted butter, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
