Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

• Measuring cups and spoons
• Grater for zesting
• Loaf pan
• Oven

Ingredients

Bread:

• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Glaze:

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1 cup confectioners sugar

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat together the melted butter, sugar, lemon juice, and eggs until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Stir until just combined.
5. Fold in the lemon zest, walnuts (if using), and blueberries.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
7. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. While the bread is baking, prepare the glaze by mixing the lemon juice, melted butter, and confectioners sugar until smooth.
9. Once the bread is done, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack.
10. Drizzle the glaze over the warm bread and let it set before slicing.

Tips for Success

• Ensure the butter is fully melted and slightly cooled before mixing it with the other ingredients.
• If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them to prevent the batter from turning blue.
• For an extra lemony kick, you can add a little more zest to the glaze.

Additional Tips and Variations

• Try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract for a subtle flavor enhancement.
• If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the walnuts.
• For a healthier option, consider using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
