This bread is a staple in my kitchen because it is so easy to pull together for a lazy weekend morning. Everyone loves how the juicy blueberries burst in every bite while the lemon glaze keeps everything tasting fresh and bright.

My favorite trick for this recipe is tossing the blueberries in a spoonful of flour before adding them to the batter. This simple step keeps the berries from sinking to the bottom of the pan while the loaf bakes.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 and 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar for the topping

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a standard loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

  5. 5

    Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

  6. 6

    Toss the blueberries with a pinch of flour and then gently fold them into your batter.

  7. 7

    Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the top with the coarse sugar.

  8. 8

    Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  9. 9

    Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before moving it to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.

💡 Tips

Store this bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. It also freezes beautifully if you wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer bag.
