Optional Lemon Glaze:

  • ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar

  • 1–2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions:

Step 1: Prep

    1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).

    2. Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together:

    • Flour

    • Baking powder

    • Baking soda

    • Salt
      Set aside.

Step 3: Cream Butter & Sugar

    1. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).

    1. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each.

    2. Mix in:

      • Sour cream

      • Milk

      • Lemon juice

      • Lemon zest

      • Vanilla extract

Step 4: Combine Wet & Dry

  1. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined (do not overmix).

Step 5: Add Blueberries

  1. Toss the blueberries in 1 tablespoon flour to prevent sinking, then gently fold into the batter.

Step 6: Bake

    1. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top.

  1. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

  2. Cool in pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.


Optional Lemon Glaze

Mix together:

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

  • 1–2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • ½ tsp lemon zest

  • Drizzle over cooled bread for a sweet-tart finishing touch.


    Serving Ideas:

      • Serve warm with a pat of butter or a dollop of whipped cream.

      • Pair with a hot cup of tea or lemony iced water.

      • Slice and toast leftovers for a citrusy breakfast.


    Storage:

      • Room Temp: Up to 3 days, wrapped tightly.

      • Fridge: Up to 5–6 days.

      • Freezer: Wrap in foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight at room temperature.


    Tips:

    • Want even more zing? Add an extra tablespoon of lemon juice or a splash of lemon extract.

    • If using frozen blueberries, don’t thaw — toss them straight in with flour.

    • Make it a Lemon Blueberry Muffin recipe by scooping into muffin tins and baking for 18–22 minutes at the same temperature.
