Lemon Blueberry Bread

Soft, moist, and bursting with juicy blueberries and fresh lemon flavor, this Lemon Blueberry Bread is the perfect treat for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack. 🍋💙

Ingredients:

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp lemon zest
• ½ cup milk
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 tbsp flour, for coating the blueberries

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix just until combined—do not overmix.
5. Gently fold in the flour-coated blueberries. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
6. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool further.
8. Slice, serve, and enjoy this deliciously moist lemon-blueberry treat! 🍋🫐💙
