Blueberry Lemon Loaf


Blueberry Lemon Loaf, a sweet treat that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. To start, preheat your oven to 325°F and butter an 8×4” or 9×5” loaf pan. In a small mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ¼ teaspoon of baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Mix these dry ingredients together until they’re well combined, then set the bowl aside.


In a large mixing bowl, cream together ¾ cup of sugar and 6 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter using an electric mixer. Gradually add in 2 large eggs, one at a time, until they’re well incorporated into the mixture. Then, add in ½ cup of whole milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 teaspoons of lemon zest. Mix these ingredients together until they’re well combined.


Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until the batter is smooth. Gently fold in 1 ½ cups of fresh blueberries using a spatula. Transfer the batter to the buttered loaf pan, making sure to spread it evenly.
