Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease and flour a 9″x5″ loaf pan. You can line the pan with parchment paper if you’d like to ensure it removes easily.
- Place the sugar in a large bowl. Zest the lemon over the sugar. Then use a rubber spatula to massage the zest into the sugar. Add the milk, oil, egg, and fresh lemon juice. Whisk well.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir gently, until just combined. Do not over mix!
- Fold the blueberries gently into the batter. Then pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes. The exact time will depend on the type of pan you have and your oven. If it is a smaller pan, it may take up to 70 minutes in the oven. A toothpick inserted in the center of the bread should come out clean. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes, then remove the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled loaf.
Notes
- The baking time may vary based on your oven and the type of loaf pan used.
- This bread can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
