Ingredients

Scale

Bread Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (200 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • â…“ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk (120 grams)
  • â…“ cup vegetable oil (70 grams)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries, divided

Lemon Glaze Ingredients

  • ½ cup icing sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until combined.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, vegetable oil, egg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
  5. Add blueberries: Fold in 1 cup of the fresh blueberries evenly throughout the batter, reserving ½ cup for topping.
  6. Pour batter into pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the reserved ½ cup blueberries evenly over the batter for a nice presentation and added bursts of flavor.
  7. Bake the bread: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the bread is golden brown on top.
  8. Cool the bread: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
  9. Prepare lemon glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the icing sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice if needed to reach a pourable consistency.
  10. Glaze the bread: Drizzle the lemon glaze evenly over the cooled bread. Allow the glaze to set for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh, ripe blueberries. Frozen blueberries can be used but may require a bit more baking time.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough bread texture.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
  • The lemon glaze can be adjusted in thickness by adding more or less lemon juice.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
