Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 units large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for blueberries)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream together 0.5 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Stir in 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and mix until incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients alternately with 0.5 cup of milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Be sure not to overmix.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, toss 1.5 cups of fresh blueberries with 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour. This helps prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom.

Step 7

Gently fold the flour-coated blueberries into the batter until just combined.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the blueberry loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve as a delightful breakfast treat or a sweet snack with a cup of tea or coffee.
