  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons fresh grated lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries fresh
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Lemon Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9" x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper (or lightly grease with butter).
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt, and set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, blend together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
  • While slowly mixing, add flour mixture and milk in two batches. Stop mixing as soon as it's just combined.
  • Rinse off the blueberries (if using fresh) and toss them with 1 tablespoon of flour to help prevent them from sinking.
  • Add the flour-coated berries to the batter and gently stir to combine.
  • Immediately pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool bread in the pan for about 30 minutes, then move to a wire cooling rack.
  • Prepare glaze by whisking together melted butter, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla, then pour it over the loaf.
  • Allow glaze to set for a few minutes before enjoying.

Notes

If baking the day before serving, wrap cooled loaf in plastic wrap and store at room temperature WITHOUT the glaze. Add the glaze the day of serving.
