Step 6: Prepare the Blueberries

Place the blueberries in a small bowl and toss them with 1 tablespoon of flour.

This coating prevents the berries from sinking to the bottom of the loaf while baking.

Gently fold the blueberries into the batter using a spatula.

Step 7: Fill the Pan and Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Place the pan in the oven and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

If the top begins to brown too quickly, loosely cover the loaf with foil during the final 10–15 minutes of baking.

Step 8: Cool the Loaf

Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10–15 minutes.

Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. This step prevents the glaze from melting too quickly.

Making the Lemon Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together:

• Powdered sugar
• Fresh lemon juice

Add the juice gradually until the glaze becomes smooth and pourable.

For extra citrus flavor, mix in a small amount of lemon zest.

Step 9: Glaze the Loaf

Once the loaf is fully cooled, drizzle the lemon glaze generously over the top.

Allow the glaze to set for about 10–15 minutes before slicing.

The glaze will create a slightly crisp, sweet layer that enhances the lemon flavor in every bite.

Tips for the Best Lemon Blueberry Loaf

Use fresh lemons. Bottled lemon juice cannot match the brightness of fresh citrus.

Do not overmix the batter. Gentle mixing keeps the loaf tender.

Room temperature ingredients work best. They blend more smoothly into the batter.

If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first. This prevents color bleeding.
