Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • For the Glaze (Optional): 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. If using the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread.

Notes

  • If you use frozen blueberries, do not thaw them; toss them with one tablespoon of the measured flour before folding them into the batter to prevent sinking.
  • For an extra tender crumb, avoid overmixing the batter once the flour is added.
  • You can substitute fresh blueberries with frozen ones for year-round baking.
