Servings: 1 loaf (14 slices) 1x
Ingredients
- 2 eggs (110 g)
- ⅔ cups milk of choice, dairy or non-dairy (155 g)
- ¾ cup cane sugar (145 g)
- ¼ cup avocado oil (may substitute melted coconut oil or melted butter)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 1/4 cups gluten-free flour blend (340-360 grams) (this recipe has been tested with Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 and King Arthur Measure for Measure
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 small/medium lemons)
- 1–2 tablespoons lemon zest (about 2 small/medium lemons)
- 1 – 1 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (160 g)
- Optional: thin lemon slices for the top of the bread
For the Lemon Glaze:
- ¼ cup powdered sugar (30 g)
- 1 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, oil, vanilla and vinegar.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir well to combine.
- Stir in the lemon juice and zest (the batter will bubble and foam a little). Then fold in the blueberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. If desired, add thin slices of lemon to the top of the batter before baking.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Let bread cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze:
- In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice until a smooth and thin glaze forms. Once the bread has cooled, drizzle the glaze on top of the bread, then slice and serve.
Notes
If gluten-free is not needed, you can substitute an equal amount of unbleached all-purpose flour for the gluten-free flour.
