Lemon Blueberry Walnut Bread

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Blueberry Walnut Bread.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give an 8x4-inch loaf pan a light greasing to ensure your bread slides out easily later.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, melted butter, eggs, and zesty lemon juice.

3. Step 3

   Whisk these ingredients together until they’re beautifully blended and smooth.

4. Step 4

   In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

5. Step 5

   Gradually add this dry mixture to your egg mixture, alternating with the milk, and stir gently until everything is just combined—no need to overmix here! Now, it’s time to fold in the star ingredients: plump blueberries, crunchy chopped walnuts, and fragrant grated lemon zest.

6. Step 6

   This is where the magic happens! Pour the luscious batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top for an even bake.

7. Step 7

   Slide it into your preheated oven and let it bake for 60 to 70 minutes.

8. Step 8

   You’ll know it’s ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, leaving you with a golden-brown loaf that smells heavenly.

9. Step 9

   Once baked, let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Step 10

    While you wait, whip up a simple glaze by mixing sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until it’s smooth and glossy.

11. Step 11

    Once your bread has cooled, drizzle this delightful glaze over the top, adding a sweet and tangy finish that will make every bite irresistible.
