This quick bread is wonderfully moist and bursting with flavor, featuring a tender crumb packed with sweet blueberries and brightened with fresh lemon zest, finished with a simple lemon glaze.

Ingredients (Bread):

  • Melted butter – 1/3 cup
  • Sugar – 1 cup
  • Lemon juice – 3 tbsp
  • Eggs – 2
  • All-purpose flour – 1 1/2 cups
  • Baking powder – 1 tsp
  • Salt – 1 tsp
  • Milk – 1/2 cup

  • Chopped walnuts (optional) – 1/2 cup
  • Fresh or frozen blueberries – 1 cup

For the Glaze:

  • Lemon juice – 2 tbsp
  • Melted butter – 1 tbsp
  • Confectioners’ sugar – 1 cup

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, beat together melted butter, sugar, lemon juice, and eggs until smooth.

Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients

Step 4: Combine Batter
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, mixing just until combined.

Step 5: Add Flavor & Mix-Ins
Fold in lemon zest, walnuts (if using), and blueberries, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

While the bread bakes, whisk together lemon juice, melted butter, and confectioners’ sugar until smooth.

Step 8: Glaze the Bread
Once baked, let the bread cool slightly, then drizzle the glaze over the warm loaf.
