Fresh-Baked Lemon Blueberry Treat

Ingredients:

For the Bread

1/3 cup melted butter

1 cup granulated sugar

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 large eggs

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

½ cup milk

2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest

½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen

For the Glaze

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon melted butter

1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions:

Step 1: Heat the Oven & Prepare the Pan

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan so the bread releases easily after baking.

Step 2: Blend the Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, lemon juice, and eggs until the mixture turns smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, stir the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.

Step 4: Bring the Batter Together

Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients gradually, alternating with the milk. Mix gently—only until everything comes together without overworking the batter.

Step 5: Add Lemon & Berries

Fold in the lemon zest, walnuts (if using), and blueberries, making sure they’re spread evenly throughout the batter.

Step 6: Bake the Loaf

Transfer the batter to your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Make the Glaze

While the bread is baking, whisk together the lemon juice, melted butter, and confectioners’ sugar until silky and lump-free.

Step 8: Finish with Glaze

Let the loaf cool for a few minutes, then drizzle the warm glaze over the top so it seeps into every crevice.

Step 9: Slice & Enjoy

Allow the bread to cool fully before cutting into slices. Serve with tea, coffee, or enjoy it all on its own.
