Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Zest of 1 lemon
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup whole milk
3 large eggs (room temperature)
1 cup fresh blueberries (tossed in flour)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest.
In another bowl, beat together sugar and melted butter until creamy; mix in eggs, milk, and lemon juice.
Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined to avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the blueberries.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool before slicing.
