Ingredients
Bread
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ cups gluten free flour, or all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, slightly softened
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp milk, dairy free or regular
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Frosting
- 1 cup vanilla frosting
- ¼ cup blueberry jam
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch by 4 inch bread pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the lemon zest, sugar, gluten free flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir together.
- Using a hand mixer, add in the butter. Mix until crumbly and until no clumps of butter remain.
- Then, add in the eggs, lemon juice, and milk. Stir.
- Toss the blueberries in 1 tablespoon of gluten free flour. Then, carefully fold into the batter.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth into an even layer.
- Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the bread to fully cool before making the frosting.
- Once the bread has fully cooled, make the frosting. Combine the vanilla frosting and jam in a small bowl. Frost the bread and slice!
Notes
- If you are not gluten free, feel free to use all purpose flour.
- Use fresh lemon zest and juice for the best flavor.
- Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the butter into the batter.
- Tossing the blueberries with the flour helps prevent them from sinking.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
