Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1.5 tsp Baking Powder
  • 0.75 tsp Salt
  • 0.25 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 cup Sugar or xylitol for sugar free
  • 0.75 cup Milk of choice
  • 1 cup Blueberries fresh or thawed frozen
  • 0.25 cup Oil or sub applesauce for fat free
  • 0.25 cup Lemon Juice
  • 1 tbsp Zest of Lemons from 1 large or 2 small lemons (1 tbsp total – don’t omit)

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Frying Pan
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures a perfect baking environment for your bread.
  2. Grease a 9×5 loaf pan. I find that using a little bit of oil helps to prevent sticking, ensuring your bread comes out beautifully.
  3. In a large bowl, stir together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. This mix creates the base of your loaf.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: sugar, milk, oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest. This mixture will add moisture and flavor.
  5. Combine the dry and wet mixtures, stirring until just blended. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries. You want to ensure they are evenly distributed without crushing them.
  7. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Once baked, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This allows it to finish setting up and prevents sogginess.
  10. If desired, frost the loaf with melted coconut butter or a mixture of powdered sugar mixed with a bit of milk or lemon juice. This adds a lovely finish to your bread.
