Ingredients
Bread Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
Glaze Topping
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease an 8×4-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat sugar, melted butter, eggs, and lemon juice until smooth.
- In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the blueberries, walnuts, and lemon zest.
Tip: Coat blueberries in a tablespoon of flour to keep them evenly distributed in the batter.
- Bake the Bread:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Prepare the Glaze:
- While the bread bakes, mix sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
- Glaze the Bread:
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm bread and allow it to soak in as the bread cools completely.
Notes
- Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
