Fresh and Flavorful Ingredients

To make this scrumptious bread, you’ll need:

• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup of milk
• 1/2 cup of melted butter (I recommend Kerrygold for its rich flavor)
• Zest of one medium lemon
• 1 1/2 cups of fresh blueberries, washed

Easy-to-Follow Instructions

1. Start by greasing the inside of a loaf pan with cooking spray. My personal favorite is coconut oil spray.
2. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring it’s nice and toasty for your bread.
3. In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: granulated sugar, flour, salt, and baking powder.
4. Grate the zest of a whole lemon into the bowl of dry ingredients using a zester. If you prefer a milder lemon flavor, feel free to use only half of the lemon’s zest or less. Don’t worry if you don’t have a fresh lemon; you can always use lemon extract as a substitute.
5. Mix the dry ingredients and zest together using a spoon. Set the bowl aside.
6. In a small bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until they’re well beaten. Pour in the milk and whisk it into the eggs.
7. Now, add the egg and milk mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Start combining the mixture until it forms a smooth batter.
8. Pour in the melted butter. I recommend adding the butter separately to avoid cooking the eggs. If the butter is really hot, be mindful of its temperature to prevent any undesirable outcome.
9. Use a large wooden spoon to thoroughly combine all the ingredients, ensuring a well-blended batter.
10. With everything nicely mixed, gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter. Be careful not to smash the berries; we want them to retain their juicy goodness.
11. Transfer the batter into the prepared bread pan, making sure it’s evenly spread.
12. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about sixty minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Indulge in a Slice of Bliss

Once your Lemon Blueberry Bread is beautifully golden and baked to perfection, take it out of the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Slice your bread, serve it on a plate, and watch as your taste buds dance with joy. The tangy aroma of lemon combined with bursts of juicy blueberries is an experience that delights the senses.

This bread is perfect for sharing with loved ones over a relaxed breakfast or as a comforting treat after a long day. Its moist texture and refreshing flavors make it a crowd-pleaser among both the young and the young at heart.
