Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with a parchment paper sling.
- Rub lemon zest into granulated sugar in a large bowl to draw out the natural lemon oils. Let sit while gathering other ingredients.
- Add flour, baking powder, and salt to the lemon sugar mixture. Whisk to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla.
- Add wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir just until combined. It's okay if the batter is lumpy.
- Gently stir in 1 cup of blueberries with a wooden spoon or spatula.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining blueberries on top.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes until a skewer inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean with only a few crumbs. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Whisk powdered sugar, melted butter, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until a nice pourable glaze forms. Drizzle over the lemon blueberry loaf, then let set for about 1 hour before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Storage: Store lemon blueberry bread in a Ziploc bag or an airtight container on the counter for 3-4 days.
- Fridge: Refrigerating lemon blueberry bread will help it last a day or two longer.
- Freeze: To freeze the whole loaf, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, or put it in an airtight container and freeze it for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge before bringing it to room temperature to slice. To freeze slices, you'll need to wrap each slice in plastic wrap first. Place the slices in a Ziploc bag or freezable container and put them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Simply take out a slice and leave it on the counter to defrost, or put it in the microwave for a minute to defrost quicker if you prefer.
