Ingredients
  

Lemon Blueberry Bread:

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • ⅓ cup melted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest

Glaze Topping:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan.
  • To make the batter: Beat sugar, butter, eggs, and lemon juice together in a large mixing bowl.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Stir into egg mixture alternately with milk. Fold in blueberries, nuts, and lemon zest. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. Cool bread in the pan for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the glaze topping: Stir powdered sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Remove blueberry bread from the pan and drizzle with glaze. Continue to cool on a wire rack.
  • Enjoy!
