Lemon blueberry bread

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup butter (melted)
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed )
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons lemon zest (grated)
• 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen )
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. 2

   Butter an 8x4 inch loaf pan, line the bottom and two sides of the pan with the parchment paper, as shown in the photo.

3. 3

   In a mixing bowl, beat together butter, 1 cup sugar, lemon juice and eggs.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; stir into egg mixture alternately with milk.

5. 5

   In the same bowl where you combined flour, add blueberries and toss them in 2 tablespoons of flour. This will help prevent blueberries from sinking.

6. 6

   Fold in lemon zest, and blueberries into the batter. Pour batter into prepared pan.

   Bake in preheated oven for about 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool bread in pan for 40 minutes on a wire rack.
