Lemon Blueberry Bread
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 3 tablespoons Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 large Eggs
- ½ cup Butter melted
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 1 ½ cups Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Paste or lemon extract

Lemon Blueberry Bread
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease two 8”x4” loaf pans, or line with parchment paper, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, melted butter, sour cream, lemon paste and lemon zest. Combine the flour mixture with the egg mixture and stir until smooth.
Toss 1 ½ cups of blueberries with 2 teaspoons of flour and then gently fold into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly between your prepared bread pans and top with the remaining 1 cup blueberries.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then gently run a knife around the edges of the bread and tease the bread out of the pan. Let cool completely on wire racks while you make the lemon glaze.
Lemon Glaze
In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice and whisk until combined.
Use a piping bag or a spoon to drizzle on top of cooled bread before serving. Enjoy!
