Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

1.5 cups all-purpose flour The base of our bread, providing a light and fluffy texture.
0.5 cups granulated sugar Adds sweetness to balance the tartness of the blueberries.
0.5 teaspoon salt Enhances the overall flavor without overpowering the other ingredients.
2 teaspoons baking powder The magical leavening agent that helps the bread rise beautifully.

Wet Ingredients

0.5 cups milk Creamy and rich, it keeps the bread moist.
0.25 cups vegetable oil Ensures a tender crumb.
0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds a warm, aromatic flavor that complements the berries.
1 large egg Binds the ingredients together for a more cohesive loaf.

Main Ingredients

1.5 cups blueberries Bursting with flavor, these little gems are the stars of the show!
0.25 teaspoon granulated sugar Helps to sweeten the blueberries and enhances their natural juices.
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour Coats the blueberries to prevent them from sinking in the batter.

Lemon Glaze

1.5 cups confectioners sugar Forms the base of our sweet glaze.
1 tablespoon juice of lemon Provides a refreshing, citrusy kick to the glaze.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing some excess to hang over the sides.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder until they are well combined and fluffy.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg to the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
In a separate small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1/4 teaspoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon of flour.
Gently fold the coated blueberries into the batter and pour into the prepared loaf pan.

Baking

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before lifting it out using the parchment paper.

Glazing and Serving

Mix together the confectioners sugar and lemon juice until smooth to prepare the glaze.
Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top, slice, and serve.

Notes

If you prefer a sweeter bread, feel free to increase the sugar slightly. For a unique touch, try adding lemon zest to the batter. Ensure blueberries are fresh for best results.
