✨Recipe✨
Dough:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup powder sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 egg
1 lemon (zest)
1 1/2 cups blueberries
Glaze:
2 tbsp butter (melted)
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup powder sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt). Whisk together until evenly distributed and set aside.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk well to combine the wet ingredients (milk, oil, egg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest).
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together using a rubber spatula until just combined and no dry ingredients are visible. Do not overmix (overmixing will make the bread denser and firmer). Fold in 1 cup of blueberries until evenly mixed.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and add the remaining ½ cup blueberry on top. Bake for 50-55 minutes.
6. While the bread is baking, mix together the glaze ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. Once the bread is taken out of the oven let it cool for 5-10 minutes, then spread glaze on top.
7. Enjoy! :)
Blueberry lemon bread is a delightful treat that combines the sweetness of blueberries with the tartness of lemon. This quick bread is not only easy to make but also incredibly versatile. It can be served fresh from the oven, enjoyed for breakfast, or savored as a delicious snack. To enhance the flavor further, consider adding a few ingredients such as lemon zest for an extra zing or a sprinkle of cinnamon to warm up the taste. Pair it with a cup of tea or coffee for a cozy afternoon break. Moreover, this recipe allows for substitutions; for instance, you can use Greek yogurt instead of milk to make it even more moist and flavorful. For those looking to make it healthier, swapping some of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour can increase the nutritional value while still maintaining a delicious taste. Don't forget, if you want to get creative, you can incorporate other fruits like raspberries or blackberries along with the blueberries for a mixed berry twist! Enjoy baking and let the aroma of fresh blueberry lemon bread fill your kitchen!
