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

Once baked, let the bread cool slightly, then drizzle the glaze over the warm loaf.
