Instructions

Bread

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and spray loaf pan with baking spray.
  • In a large bowl blend four, baking powder, salt and lemon zest.
  • In a small bowl place blueberries and 1 tablespoon of flour, stir to coat blueberries.
  • In mixing bowl blend butter or coconut oil and add sugar, then add eggs one at a time and then vanilla.

Glaze

  • Add lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl and blend until sugar dissolves.
  • Once you remove bread from oven, poke holes in top of bread using skewer, or a sharp knife. This will allow sugar glaze to seep down through bread.
  • Pour glaze over top.
