  • All-purpose flour – 1 1/2 cups
  • Baking powder – 1 tsp

For the Glaze:

  • 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.

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.
