Glazed Lemon Blueberry Tea Bread

 A really quick "Tea Bread"!

I love browsing the web, searching for new recipes, especially when I know I have food around that I don't want to waste. Take blueberries,  for instance.  I had some leftover blueberries in the fridge and a couple of lemons, so I started my food search.  

This is the recipe that I found on the "Just a Pinch" website, and it had a 5 star rating.  I've used a few from there and haven't been disappointed.

This literally took minutes to put together, so if you need a really quick "quick bread", this is definitely for you!  

By the way, this was possibly the most delicious tea bread I've ever tasted! 

Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar

1 Tbsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

1 tsp fresh lemon zest

2 large eggs
1 cup milk
3 Tbsp. vegetable oil

2 tsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice, or more to taste

Preheat oven to 350'F. 

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in blueberries and the lemon zest.

In another bowl, beat eggs; add milk, oil and lemon juice. 

Stir into the dry ingredients mixture, until just moistened.

Pour into a greased 9x5" loaf pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for one hour or until toothpick tests clean.

 

Glaze:

1/4 cup confectioner's sugar

1 tsp fresh lemon zest
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

Prepare glaze by combining confectioner's sugar and lemon zest.  Add lemon juice slowly until you reach a glaze consistency (you might not need it all). 

After removing loaf from the oven, while still warm, brush or drizzle the glaze over the bread. 

Let cool for 10 minutes, remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Yields: 1 loaf
