  • Combine your wet lemon mixture and your flour mixture and stir until combined. Fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries.
  • Transfer the batter (it will be thick!) into a greased bread pan and bake for 40-50 minutes until it is lightly browned and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely.
  • Spread on lemon glaze : 1 cup + 1 Tablespoon of confectioners sugar mixed with 1 Tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
