Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour

  5. Fold in the blueberries gently.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a serving platter.
  9. Whisk together the melted butter, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth for the glaze. Add more lemon juice if needed for the desired consistency.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the warm loaf and let it soak in before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use fresh blueberries for best flavor. To store, wrap tightly and keep at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for about a week.
