  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf (about 10 slices) 1x

Ingredients

Scale

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 that’s 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.
