Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream or plain full fat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup olive oil or your preferred cooking oil
- 2 large egg
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries divided
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, add the sugar, sour cream, oil, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir just until no dry flour remains, trying not to over mix.
- Add 1 cup of blueberries. Gently stir the blueberries into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of blueberries on top of the batter. Lightly press the blueberries down into the batter.
- Bake for 60 to 65 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the bread should come out with moist crumbs on it, but no raw batter.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
- In a medium size mixing bowl, add the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth.*
- Drizzle the top of the bread with the lemon glaze. Spread the glaze out with the back of a spoon so that the top of the bread is completely covered.
- Let the bread rest for 10 minutes so that the icing will set up before slicing.
- Store covered in the refrigerator.

Notes
- Actual calories and carbohydrates will be less than listed since not all of the glaze sticks to the bread and gets discarded.
- *Start with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Then, add up to 1 additional tablespoon to get the desired consistency. The glaze should be thin enough to drizzle over the bread and spread out.
