Blueberry Lemon Loaf
A lemon blueberry loaf is a delightful quick bread that combines the bright, zesty flavors of lemon with the sweet, juicy taste of blueberries.
Equipment
- 9×5 loaf pan
- 1 knife
- 1 zester
- 2 bowls
- 1 whisk
Ingredients
- 1 lemon
- 1-3 TBSP confectioners sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 2/3 cups flour all purpose
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cups blueberries frozen
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- Grate the zest from the lemon. Cut the lemon in half, and squeeze the juice from both halves. Make a topping by whisking together 1 teaspoon of the lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, and the confectioners' sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk together the white sugar, melted butter, eggs, Greek yogurt, the remaining lemon zest, and the remaining lemon juice in a large bowl until evenly blended. Stir in the milk; set aside.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate large bowl. Remove 2 tablespoons of the flour mixture and set aside. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; pour the milk mixture into the well and stir the batter just until combined.
- Fold the frozen blueberries into the reserved 2 tablespoons of the flour mixture, then fold the blueberries into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 60 minutes.
- Remove from oven; immediately poke holes all over the top of the loaf with a toothpick, and pour the topping evenly over the loaf. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
