  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp milk

  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries (tossed with 1 tbsp flour to prevent sinking)

For the Lemon Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tsp lemon zest

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Batter

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

  3. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
  5. Stir in sour cream, milk, vanilla, and lemon zest.
  6. Gently fold in dry ingredients, then blueberries (lightly coated in flour).

2. Bake the Bread

  1. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  2. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  3. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

3. Make the Lemon Glaze

  1. In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest until smooth.
  2. Drizzle glaze over cooled bread.
  3. Let set for 10–15 minutes before slicing.

Tips for Perfect Blueberry Bread

  • Toss blueberries in flour to keep them from sinking.
  • Use room-temperature ingredients for even mixing.
  • Substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
  • For extra lemon flavor, add 1–2 tbsp lemon juice to the batter.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve warm with butter or cream cheese.
  • Pair with coffee or iced tea for breakfast.
  • Slice and pack for picnics or lunchbox treats.

Storage

  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  • Freeze (unglazed) for up to 2 months; thaw and add glaze before serving.

FAQs about Blueberry Bread with Lemon Glaze

1. Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes, just don’t thaw them—add directly to the batter to prevent bleeding.

2. How do I make the bread extra moist?
Adding sour cream or yogurt keeps it soft and moist.

3. Can I skip the glaze?
Yes, the bread is delicious on its own, but the lemon glaze enhances flavor.

4. What’s the best flour substitute?
You can use half whole wheat flour for a healthier version.

5. Can I turn this into muffins?
Yes, bake in a muffin tin at 350°F for 18–22 minutes.
