Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8x4-inch loaf pan loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2 ½ cups flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, milk, butter and lemon zest and juice with a hand mixer until combined.
  4. Transfer the dry ingredients on top of the wet ingredients and mix until no streaks remain.
  5. In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with the remaining flour to prevent them from sinking into the loaf. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. If necessary, tent the pan with foil after 45 minutes of baking to prevent the top from browning too much.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack before slicing.
